Words I Should Know

What is the change, in your presence, near
A knowing, a feeling of certainty awakens
As I search for words
Like fingers tracing your skin in the dark
Meanings unfold in the savoring
Warmth
 
But I'm torn
Sometimes life is hard
And I don't want a woman who falls apart with the "feels"
Sometimes life's Bonnie and Clyde
Ride or die
To me love means  
You're on my fighting side
 
Breath, I'll give you the space that you need
Be all you can be
Let you be that for you
And be that for me
As we build a dream
Dream with me
I'm a dreamer of dreams
 
I need free air
Mountains and streams
The rolling distance of trees
The cry of the hawk
And sighting of deer
Does this strain run through your veins
Like country roads and plowed fields
Living close to the earth
Beneath stars that you follow
 
The soft of love
Fresh cut pine sprigs and fir boughs
And candles scent the air
The crackle of fire
As frost whites the lawn
I'm a man of simple things
And wonder
What kind of woman are you
 
I search for love
Because I search for peace
In the quiet of my world
