Come Lover

Come Lover
Let me take you by the hand
I'll lead you through
The fertile garden of my mind

Explore the verdent paths
Overgrown with trailing ideas
We'll take meandering conversational journeys
Explore random thoughts and ideas
Debate politics and religion
And still remain friends

So, Come Lover
Take my hand

Come Lover
Let me take you by the hand
I'll show you how to make love to me
How to bring me to the brink
And hold me quivering there
How to create a sacred space
And lose yourself in sensation
Stare into my eyes
And gently stroke my soul
As we both lay bare

So, Come Lover
Take my hand

Come Lover
Let me take you by the hand
I'll teach you about living intentionally
Conscious growth and fearlessness
I'll be right beside you
Cheering you on
Your most vocal fan
I'll encourage when you fall
And challenge small thinking
As we evolve

So, Come Lover
Take my hand

Come Lover
Let me take you by the hand
We'll explore the world together
Walk foreign cities
Traipse the winding paths
The interesting back roads
Pause in the shady nooks
Bask in the sunny clearings
Dine in cozy cafes
As we absorb life

So, Come Lover
Take my hand

Dearest Lover

Dearest Lover,
It almost broke me when you left.
The emptiness unfillable
No, not the hole in my life
The one inside me
A great ugly gaping gash
Ragged edges, torn, where all the ways
We joined, were ripped away
You never looked back
To see me laying there
Prone, Amongst the debris
of what I thought
Were our shared dreams
This longing I still feel
Apparently, unshared
Best friend, lover, confidante
Mind, heart and body ache
For your loving touch
I wonder will I forever feel
As though you are missing from me
