Hold me tight
I feel so safe
In your arms
I can deal
with anything and everything
in this world
as long as I can
lay my head
between your breasts
and feel
your heart beating
against my cheek
nothing else matters
your love fills me
and
we become
one breath
so
if you feel
my tears flow
and
leave damp tracks
on your skin
Tis because
I’m so very thankful
that I have
you to
hold me tight

you said
its sad
to second guess
I agreed
but still
I hear
sweet echoes
of you
when one
touches another
deeply
threads are
irrevocably woven
in each
other’s tapestry
and still
i hear
sweet echoes
of you
try as I might
to forget
unrequited feelings
I’m only human
just a woman
who once
loved you
and still
I hear
sweet echoes
of you
so
I’ll return
to this empty space
this silent place
only in my dreams
where
still
I hear
sweet echoes
of you

You must have watched
Many ships come and go
Sleek yachts with powerful engines
Purring promises of far-flung adventure
Sturdy cruisers full of youthful vigor
Offering heady romantic trysts
You could have chosen from amongst
The quiet confidence of pirogues
Gliding over the swamps under the stars
Or the strong sturdiness of tugboats
Willing to take on the challenges
Of unknown and unchartered waters
This ship had travelled far and wide
To find a safe harbor
The masts were bare
The sails taken down
Too tattered and worn
To endure one more storm
Who knows
I could have been content
Just to exist day by day
Drifting aimlessly
Let the currents of life
Carry me where ever they wished
If not for you…
Of all the ships that have sailed your seas
You gathered all your courage
And without a backward glance
Chose to follow your heart
And swam out to me…
No more days of drifting
Now that I have found you
No more nights of loneliness
Now that you share them with me
No more spaces of emptiness
Now that you fill me so completely
I want to ebb and flow with the tides
With you as my buoy and my anchor
I want to listen to the thunder of the rain
With you as my shelter and my protection
I want to soar and glide through the currents
With you by my side holding my hand
We have seen the Southern Cross
For the first time together
We understand how and why we came this way
And we both know this love will endure
For I have found my harbor in you
And you have found your ship in me

How do I find the words
To express the depths
Of this connection
Between Her and I?
Wonderous is the strength
Of this innate recognization
This undeniable attraction
Between Her and I
Time stands still
Distances shrink
Spaces fade
Between Her and I
Where do I find the words
To describe the power
Of this bond
Between Her and I?
I can’t help but wonder
If there had been an earlier time
What if, what could have been
Between Her and I?
I just know one truth
There is nothing in this universe
That can ever come
Between Her and I
She’s in my heart, I’m in Hers
Two souls entwined
One love forever shared
Between Her and I.
For You, M’Lady
