She rises from a slumber
ten thousand years long
to face the world
as she is.
Lonely, lost, despairing.
Death seems close
around that next corner.
She still searches
for that thing
that one emotion
that would make her whole,
fill her with purpose.
Her young days
long behind her,
yet still
the thirst unquenched.
As her last breath
came,
she lifted her head to the stars
screaming for all to hear
the sorrow of her incomplete soul.
Love, where are you?
I NEED YOU.

Deep within our souls
is a hunger that no hatred can kill.
It is the basest need that occurs
when by chance you meet the one,
the one person
you will share your dreams,
desires, and secrets with.
But most of the world denies this hunger
by feeding it sweet sugar,
a substitute for the real thing.
They lose that feel
for the dream of love
which becomes lost in life,
by becoming too comfortable
to leave this substitute behind.
People become blind, and deaf,
because of loyalty,
to that attraction
that sneaks up on you
when you least expect it.

If only I could stay,
here beside you.
Forever dwelling in all you are,
quenching my thirst
with something wholesome,
fresh and lovely.
To reside
here in your world,
consuming your fire
while tasting mine.
Knowing love
as it should be known
living and breathing
as you live and breath.
Never leaving
all that is you.

You were unknown to me
A stranger
Invading the peaceful ignorance
That was my life
Taking me from the bliss of the unknown
You crashed into my world
Like a runaway stallion
Herding me away from my safe holding pen
Freeing me from what was my benightedness
A slavery I was happy living in
Yet in my grief of the loss
Of my security
My eyes were opened to a cherished freedom
That had existed only in my dreams
That you had shown me
Was a reality
In my loss I see
I have gained
A world of infinite possibilities
Becoming as wild as you
In my beliefs
The mare to your stallion
Standing upon a precipice
That instead of seeing walls
Blocking my view
I now see
The world that lies beyond
The prison that once was
My haven

If only you would hold me
for the rest of my life,
then would I be satisfied.
I long for silence
of my inner turmoil,
for a solitude
filled only with you.
To wake up knowing
you will always be there.
To sleep,
with you beside me.

You are strength
A pillar of stone
I lean upon.
Just to be near you is to be
Apart of your might.
You are my truth
The honesty I desire.
I believe in you
And all that you are.
If I could lose myself
Within you
I would gladly
I would fall into your arms
And never come up for air.
I love the way you smile at me.
I love the way your arms surround me.
You are love.
The only one I’ve ever truly cared for.
You’ve taught me
To give of myself
To give you my heart
And love you completely.
If I asked you,
Would you love me?
Not just in pieces,
But in all parts?
I know that today is not the time
For me to fall in love.
But I will love you
Without question,
Without regret.
Even if fate
Sends us our different ways,
I will find you
And love you until I die.

Let me stay within you
For I cannot live without you.
I want to feel lost
Within the embrace of your arms
To drown in every piece of your soul
To leave this world loving you
Please love me
I may be strong
But you
Are my foundation
I say I love you
But that doesn’t even come close
To this raging emotion within my heart
Within my soul
As yin completes yang
You complete me.
