Beyond Me



I left my heart at the end of 290
Waved goodbye & good riddance
Vowed I’d live cold but in dignity
Vowed I’d never love or loose again

Never knew he’d bring it back to me!
Throbbing vigorously in his hands
Brand new, gift wrapped & shiny
He never knew I’d want him to keep it
That he’d always have a piece of me

His eyes are the color of my heart
Open my chest & you will see
Along side the coral & the reef
My heart is the color of the sea

& so he comes; child of the sun
& so his eyes they speak to me
Revealing his heart & all his dreams
Exposing moments of epiphany

As I soak in the love & joy he brings
Revel in knowing him so intimately
I dread the day the sun will set
& my fallen star rises free

I’ve gone & spiraled head over heals again
& I can’t care less, I follow lovingly
I give him my heart to mend or break
It is his now & beyond me

Honestly,


I stand in front of you
And I am all that I am
Just as you see me
All of me
And nothing else

No lies. No deception. No hidden motives.

Look at me
Listen to me
And you’ll already have known everything

I’m not just honest because it’s wrong to lie!
I’m honest because I don’t want to live a lie!
Because I want you to see me whole
& know me inside out … as I'd know you
Otherwise … how can you be my mate?!

How can you touch your loved ones’ skin
How can you hold them close to you
If your hearts are not true!

If you don’t even know who you’re holding
& you’ve ruined all potential for beauty

I want to be on my loves’ side
I want him on mine
I’m not looking for a tale spinner
Or some poor shmuck who doesn’t know what he wants

All I want is my man
Who will come across to me … as he is
Just who he is
All that he is
& nothing else!

I’m looking for my team mate
My mentor & student
My partner in laughter & tears
And all that we stand for … together

I stand here in front of you
& what you see is all that I am
This is my truth
This is everything
& nothing else
