Take Two

Your eyes tell all that needs to be said;
These jumbled thoughts untangle my head.
A heart of gold, so open and pure;
Longing for a love strong and secure.

Hide me in your arms and tell me you're mine;
A Master's plan, a flawless design?
Without any control, to you I am drawn,
Just a piece in the puzzle, just a promising pawn.

So tell me your ideas, your dreams, and your fears
And maybe we'll make it through year after year.
Sing me a love song, just one more time
And I'll tell you my heart through rhetoric and rhyme.

I'm afraid of being brash, blatant, and bold;
But Love has a story it needs to unfold.
And here I am open, a girl for display;
I'm hoping that somehow I'll make you stay.

Intertwine our fingers
Get a grip on my heart,
Don't let evil that lingers
Tear you apart.

I want to hold you and keep you strong;
My life seemed much darker until you came along.
And I want to return this favor to you,
A favor of hope that remains tested when true.

A dream's desire for tomorrow
A slow, tender kiss
A triumph over sorrow
A confession, is this.

And so then I wonder about the loss of my name,
And the time it will take from flicker to flame.
I can't recall if time stopped, or managed to slow,
At that first moment when your eyes spoke "Hello."

Your weathered imagination rocks you to sleep,
To find a heart you know you can keep.
These secretive thoughts I never should tell,
But in doing so, I hope you'll sleep well.

Maybe we'll find yours is the mate to my soul,
And I'm the only woman that could ever make you whole.
