you struck
...
like lightning,
before, i'd ever
known
what
came down
upon me
on
a wish
and a prayer
you, were
already here..
you'd side-stepped
my best defenses
slipped softly...
through the shadows
of my life
fell right into my world
in step with the reality
of what was
happening
...as if
you were born
here, beside me
and had never
left
...
there
you were
...
walking calmly
amidst the danger
...
like a friend,
and not a stranger
...
entered,
without a ripple
into this dimension
...
like a dream
...
looked me
straight in the eye
without pause
...
asked me,
Am i pure?
...
and when i said, to you
...
i could not be sure
...
but
i believed so,
to my heart
...
never
wavering
...
you said, be careful
what you pray for
...
as the words
dematerialized,
before me
...
somehow,i knew
i stood a chance
to lose it all
...
so before
i took the chance
of this fall
...
being taken back
...
i stood, before you
facing into the wind
...
you said,
come to me,
let it begin
...
and, so we did
...
got to know
each other, better
and i
learned to live
with you
side by side
you took me
up above
to heights
i'd never known
shook me up,
turned my world
round and round,
showed love,
i coud either
take or leave
but, that...
i could not ignore
set me down
spoke through
my soul to me
took me to a higher plane
materialized, there
between heartbeats
to this heart of soul...
rocked a peace
of my mind...
that'd never
been touched
before
giving me,
a taste of love
with an essence
in a place
i'd never felt before
been there
half a dozen times
or maybe more
i'll call them near misses
there's more to learning love
then tender moments
of sweet emotions...
exploring hearts,
searching for a place
to start kindling
a fire worth
...
remembering
...
giving a lasting warmth
with passionate touches
and long bouts
of gentle
kisses
but, i'd
never known
what
in this world
to do
...
to give
and get back
...
what was
growing there
that only
goes to show
...
i'd never known
what i was missing
...
till i met
up,
with you
