…I am released

Come to me my love
hold me close
in the river of your soul
I know every part of you
the touch of your lips
awaken the flame within
and my heart is clinging
like the last leaf in autumn
holding on to the promise
of an endless summer

the gravity between us
holds us in place
as we spin through
time and space
our bodies locked
in an endless embrace

I feel that I am drifting
that I might drown
in the depths of your eyes
although I know
there is nothing to fear
for in your heart’s blue sky
I am finally released
and have learned how to fly
