WATCH ‘EM GROW

Try to sleep

My mind is racing

Counting hours

'Til the day

When I feel you

Pressed against me

Your face

Against my face

Feel your breath

On my neck

As I hold you

In my arms

Feel the safety

Of our union

Know you'll never

Come to harm

I've been lost here

Without you

Looking forward

For your form

Tried to redefine

The steady

Sought to redefine

The norm

I know there's clerics

And preachers

There's pacifists

And breeze

But none of them

Can offer

What you can offer me

You're more than

A woman

You reflect what is within

Within my secrets and my thoughts

That go deeper than my skin

There is this glow about you

There is a stillness to your words

Quiet, cool and collected

Like some thing I've always heard

But the voice

- That speaks them

I first met in a dream

Started seeking

Ever endless

Since the age of seventeen

Should you be the one

To choose me

Should you be the one

To know

I'll plant seeds with you

And sew them

Give them time

And watch 'em grow
