Peace

The sky has gone gray-green and soft
As we lay in each other's arms
The clouds are no longer threatening
Just gently covering the sun like a blanket
From the shelter of you, I see the rain
It does not frighten or discomfort
All the world is peaceful from here
Let's let everything else just disappear

Love means...

Love means …

Knowing all your secrets

Reaching out and never doubting

That a hand will be there

That feeling in the pit of your stomach

Is only from nerves,

Never your love

Love is as steady as

The ground beneath my feet

The first flush of lust

Grows into a beautiful rose of romance

Constant as the North Star

A shelter in any storm

Our love will hold fast

Together we can conquer the world

Hiatus

Who will be here when we break?

To pick the pieces up?

Cracks begin to show already love

Fading in the sun

It’s never peaceful in the wind and rain

Time is spent waiting

For the storm to end

But it’s only a pause

Hiatus

Then a frantic run to shelter

What happens when that shelter

Is no longer there?

Will we race downstream in the flood?

Will we whip wildly in the wind?

All we can do is take cover

The best we can until

The storm is over

Plant our feet in solid ground

Comfort each other

Together

Survive the deluge
