A Little Bit Yours

THE OFFERING

THE OFFERING

I MOVE-----------------------

ONE TENTATIVE FINGER AT A TIME

SLOWLY---------------------

UNTIL MY FINGERS COME TOGETHER

AND FORM A BOWL IN THE PALM OF MY HAND

AND IN MY PALM APPEARS AN OFFERING: MY HEART

I REACH----------------------

ONE HEARTBEAT AT A TIME

SLOWLY--------------------

UNTIL MY HAND COMES TO REST

IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES

AND I SEE THAT YOU SEE.

I WAIT------------------------

AFRAID TO BREATHE,

AFRAID TO MOVE, AFRAID TO SPEAK

I STAND--------------------

WAITING AN ETERNITY

FOR YOUR ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION

OF THIS, MY HEART

MY PRECIOUS OFFERING, MY ONLY GIFT

WORTHY OF ONE LIKE YOU.

I SMILE---------------------

FOR YOU REACH FORTH YOUR HAND

AND TAKE MY HAND

IN YOURS

AND WITHOUT MOVING YOUR EYES FROM MINE

YOU PLACE MY PALM AGAINST YOUR LIPS

AND KISS IT

THEN PLACING IT AGAINST YOUR CHEST

UPON YOUR HEART

YOU ACCEPT MY OFFERING

AND WITH PURE LOVE SHINING IN YOUR EYES

YOU EXTEND YOUR HAND TO ME

AND THERE I SEE IN THE BOWL OF YOUR PALM

THE HEART I DESIRE ABOVE ALL THINGS

I CLASP IT TO MY OWN

AND MELTING INTO YOUR STRONG ARMS

AND EYES---------------------

WE BECOME ONE

IN ETERNITY.

Belly Dancing Dog

New Love

soundtrack

New Love

New love

Comes as the dawn on a new day

Out of darkness, dreaming

Itself into being

Singing unwritten songs,

Dancing on feet, lonely

And tired of not dancing.

New love

Whispers

While shouting

Delights, while fighting doubt

And holds on tightly

While feigning an attitude

Of laissez-faire.

New love

Is sweet

Like peaches

On a July afternoon,

Bittersweet, perhaps

If left too long,

If taken too soon.

New love

Comes with a fragrance

All it's own

Perfume called desire,

Intoxicative danger

The taste of temptation,

And fear of the unknown.

But..........

No man

Can renounce it

Nor woman, resist

The thrill of it's mystery,

It's romance,

It's bliss.

'Tis all of these things

New love is......

And more

For love

Is the ocean

And the heart

Is it's shore.

What Is It?

What is It?

If love is not love
Then what is it?
How can it exist
If it's not real?

If love is not there
How do you feel it?
And what is a love
That you can't feel?

What is wanting
If you don't want it?
And needing something
That you don't need?

Why is the thing you don't need
So all powerful?
And how does it grow
If you don't plant the seed?

How does the heart decide who it loves?
Does the mind then, not play a part?
All the thoughts in the brain cannot conceive
The emotions that live in the heart.

The heart is an entity all of its own
No one can control it by will
Your mind can demand and command it
But the heart hears and goes it's way, still.

I do not want to love you
I had made no plans, you see
I didn't count on you entwining yourself
Till you became a part of me.

I didn't want to want you
I didn't need the pain
I had hurt so much from love's cruel touch
And I didn't want to hurt again.

I really tried to run away
When that feeling did approach
I resisted everything I saw in you
That my heart drew to me the most.

But the heart became my master
And my mind just sighed and left
For it knew that soon my heart would break
And that I'd find myself, bereft.

And so I am and so it did
And love's wounds have cut me deep
As my heart reached out to hold onto
Precious things it could not keep.

You tell me love cannot be real
In this place and space and time
Because your own heart does not feel
The love I feel with mine.

And though that might be true for you
That doesn't make it so
Not thinking, I reached my hands to love
And with the same hands, must let it go.

If this love is not love
Then what is it?
How can it exist
If it's not real?

If my love for you
Is not something that's true
Then tell me
What is this heartbreak I feel?

You can't tell me my mind has imagined
When my mind warned me not to partake
The mind only has one thing in common
With the heart and that's both of them break.

But only love can break a heart
That thing God gave to man
And only He knows the secret to how
Love can heal that heart again.
