Musa

Evolve

Glaze of spring fragrance

Clings to delicate cocoon

Emerge with bronze wings

Dare we?

Our backs pressed together yet so far apart
both staring at the stars
not making a sound

Dare we……..forget the past and make a start
we’ll be face to face
we’ll both turn around
~
If I……..were to look into those big brown eyes
and ask you to be mine,
would you take my hand?

If you……..were to walk with me alone tonight
you would see all I need,
two sets of footprints in the sand
~
The limits we can take this is so out of sight
the drum in my chest beats
and I know you can feel

If I……..stare too hard or hold you tight
I’m not trying to hurt you
I just want to be sure you’re real
~
If we……..step into an unknown sea
I can only promise one thing
you’ll always be all I need

I’m euphoric……..to have you with me
Before tonight,
you were only a dream
~
Any moment that I take my eyes off you
it’s only to see the path ahead
so I can help you through

You……..will never need to ask for truth
It’s an honorable sacrifice
to give all of me to you
~
Would you……..sail away tonight with me
We’ll throw uncertainty to the breeze
Dare we?

Be Mine

I wake up cold and sweaty
with a feeling that I need you
I only wish that I was holding you
and showing all my love is true

Yes I do
need you

I’m getting tired of this distance
without you here I can’t be me
In my prayers I’m always wishing
for an end to all this mystery

Can’t you see?
I’m not complete

I’m walking in the cold snow
one set of footprints, not enough
Looking back, I want to see you
and I’ll wait for you to catch up

Is that too much?
More than a crush

I want to feel you on my shoulders
as this eagle soars above tonight
We can cross the sea together
I’ll protect your heart, my fragile butterfly

Look into my eyes
I’ll melt the ice

This distance has to end soon
and this warrior needs a new start
I promise my sword will never get dull
because you are the sheath of my heart

Promise you’ll be mine,
my Valentine
