Woolen Blanket
You are a woolen blanket that covers me
It is warm inside, and I feel safe
Like a fort, we play, captivated and
Ceremoniously cut off from the world outside
Your love smothers me and I gasp for air
I can’t breathe without you
I fight to find a semblance of divine separation
To remember the me, to be the me I was before you
My feelings have sharp edges like shards of glass in the sun,
Cutting pieces of you and pieces of me
Creating new dimensions
A kaleidoscope of us
The winds still blow fierce and the moon faithfully guides the currents
Charting a course for those who do not waver
I know this to be true and yet
I am sailing in unchartered territory
With only a woolen blanket
Meant to Be
You and me, were we ever meant to be
The summer nights are oh so warm and I hunger for you
Somehow what we feel is real
Me gliding along on a flat waveless sea
While you rock your boat of stormy emotion
You a prisoner of your anger I manage to set you free
If only for a while, for an hour
Can you see me through the darkness
I know my light is blinding
And you shy away
Too much too soon too little too late too many unknowns
I feel safe in your arms
Wrapped up in your love
Like a present yet unopened
Were we ever meant to be
If only for a while
What is real, what is not, do we even know how to love
The passion, the anticipation, the lust, the emotion raw and hungry
The feeling like it never was before and never will again
The music it fills my ears and my soul
But you can’t hear it
Does my love feed your soul
Are we meant to be
