My Only Possessions
I see salvation
As paradise calls to me
Deep within your eyes
I can hear the whispers
From a hurting heart
That beats so lonely in the night
I see what is hidden
Know your inner pain
Each tear has a story
The vulnerability you feel
Is mirrored in my soul
So I call to you
Love is in the action of lovers
Crossing the line of safety
Gently opening to trust
Passion is not that far away
It lies within our core
Waiting to take control
Yes I see salvation
For both of us
Freedom to take that leap of faith
Baring our soul
Ina first kiss
How the fire will then consume
Pleasures so high
They reach for heaven
Its in the completion of a tender touch
How the feeling rises
Like the tide of an ocean
That leaves you willing to love again
Take that chance
So hold out your hands
I place within them my only possessions
My heart
My soul
My love
As paradise calls to me
Deep within your eyes
I can hear the whispers
From a hurting heart
That beats so lonely in the night
I see what is hidden
Know your inner pain
Each tear has a story
The vulnerability you feel
Is mirrored in my soul
So I call to you
Love is in the action of lovers
Crossing the line of safety
Gently opening to trust
Passion is not that far away
It lies within our core
Waiting to take control
Yes I see salvation
For both of us
Freedom to take that leap of faith
Baring our soul
Ina first kiss
How the fire will then consume
Pleasures so high
They reach for heaven
Its in the completion of a tender touch
How the feeling rises
Like the tide of an ocean
That leaves you willing to love again
Take that chance
So hold out your hands
I place within them my only possessions
My heart
My soul
My love

Yes, this is really good. I particularly like how the use of "its" rather than "it's" in the fourth to last stanza gives heaven, possessively, the quality of the completion of a tender touch (and hence alludes to the same being true, vice versa), as opposed to merely pleasure occuring while performing the completion of a tender touch. To quote the movie Krull, "power is fleeting, love is eternal". :)

Wonderful captivation of that tender vulnerable yet beautiful state of being ready to open up to love and all its possibilities, while hoping the other person feels the same and embraces the safety of falling into your arms.
