Adornment

I need no rouge for my cheeks,

     they blush under your gaze,

          I need no jewels for my neck,

               your affection adorns it,

                    I need no clothing for my body,

                          your body covers mine,

                   I need no language or words,

              your kisses quiet me,

         I need no watch for my wrist,

     time will cease in your arms.

Eternity opens up in our love.

I Will Because of You

I surrender.

For the weapons I have will not protect me,

Because I don't need them now.

I give freely.

For the vault that has held my passion is opened,

Because you have found the key.

I will trust you.

For I've been banking my trust in wait for one worthy,

Because my dreaming heart held out hope.

I won’t over think this.

For fear lies ready to prey on joy in every shadow,

Because fear is the enemy of progress.

I want tomorrow.

For tomorrow holds so many possibilities for growing,

Because I am ready to grow into us.

I won’t rush life.

For now is beautiful in a thousand ways - I’ll love the moment,

Because there are moments for us to come.
