The Gentleness Of Being

 
I come to you gently bearing my soul
in an intimate way so you will know me
in honesty no guile will you find
whispering secrets I keep close

hush now don't cry
I love you down deep
a sacred bond between you and I
has been formed over the years

mysterious love can alter
and I am changed
every particle of my being sings your name

I carry my desire silently
telling no one but you
glowing with vibrancy
my feelings show anyway
I can hide nothing from you

summoning all I am
I come
making my way to you

touching the need and keen
should you refuse me
it is in my tempest dreams
my lusts understood
but it isn't lust alone

it is a great passion
that has swept me up
and lays me barren on your shores

where I long to be yours
