We are free but there is no freedom
When we live in fear
We crawl into the cage of our making
Pushed in by the hand of panic
And locked with terror
The bars are made of trembling dread
We wait for someone to let us out
Never realizing we hold the key
I need a sign of you to resurrect my heart
Maybe a flicker of your heated smile
A taste of your lips, a sweet kiss
Or a quick caress of your silky touch
Anything to remind me
I’m still alive
The rhythm of your mind
Plays a seductive melody
Of captivating subterfuge
That hums along my chords
Singing of sweet romance
While lying to my fractured heart
She travels along his desire
Needing a little lust and fire
In search of sweet, erotic bliss
Craving hands and a firm kiss
Finds it in the heavy weight of his body
In their fervent, desperate lips
And the thrust of his firm, sensual hips
Long years have taught her
The more she travels
Every place and no place are home
Knowing her weaknesses
Makes her fragile and gives her strength
Her heart is forever young
Even as wrinkles map
Lines laughter and sorrow
On her skin and many sins
The earth is tilting
Sliding into tainted uncertainty
Tinted with fear and foreboding
Reach for me
I’ll hold us with love and trust
And the belief
Everything will be all right
Together
She wanted him for forever and always
He desired to be wrapped
In her passion and problems
Until the end of time
Through the good and bad
They struggled and succeeded
Failed and fell in love
Again and again
Heart to soul
Together
She’s his garden of Eden
Her summer scent of desire
Is on his skin, lying like sweet sin
Yet he’s touched heaven
Tomorrow’s promise
Is just the wind whispering
Possibilities and failures
So tread softly
Stride carefully
But toss aside perfection
To live loudly
And love deeply
Dragonfly dreams
Whisper and waver
On the wings
Of hope and harmony
An oddity of optimism
And adventurism
Reminding her
When everything
That matters is shattered
Tattered and torn
Broken and burned
She’ll rise from the ashes
Of her despair and destruction
