Breathe life into me, and take my breath away

 

Let me feel your essence, deep into my soul

 

Touch my body with a longing, a needing, impure

Entrance me with your ever enticing allure

Ignite me with a passion, heated in the night

Set the fires burning, with the flicker of candle light

 

Breathe life into me, with words you cannot say

 

Let me feel your essence, make my body whole

There are always two sides to every being

If you look closely, I’m sure you will see

Behind this pretty little face of mine

Hides a plethora of mystery

The light side bright, in golden hues

Reflecting a heavenly shine

It’s the side that I show you

Smiling, when I’m feeling kind

The darker side doesn’t shine at all

For it clearly does define

The side of me, you won’t care to see

So, I keep it, all as mine

Ivy covers your window sill
Reflections linger, ever still

Eyes that shield the sunlit day
Memories that come and stay

Are shadows cast, an eerie face
Reflections linger, in this place

As I look up, no longer smile
Knowing you’ve been gone awhile

You never thought that you belonged
I never tried to prove you wrong

I watched as you let life slip by
I always thought you’d never die

How could I abandon you?
Reflections linger, filled with rue

Now this window, draws me here
Memories, becoming clear

My world will never be the same
Reflections linger, along with blame

I share my bounty

For life has given me joy

In abundant love

I have traveled many roads

Crossed many bridges, broken

And burned, by words, by actions,

By me, still, I travel over them

Stumble upon them, slip and

Even fall through the cracks

Yet, with each plank, each step

I learn, there will always be bridges

Waiting, to find, to cross, and to teach
