| Just As… (Part I) Just as the sun rises each day, So does my passion with you stay. Just as the birds sing at first light, So do the memories of you excite. Just as the moon reflects the light, So do my eyes with you in sight. Just as the stars shine in the sky, So does my smile for you and I Bound together in sweet union, Flesh upon flesh when we are one. Your touch erupting my desire Much more intense than any fire. So, so deep that I become lost, Reaching boundaries never before crossed. The resurrection of my heart, Feelings that now leave the dark. Your absence quickly makes me ache For more and more of you I take To fill the awful emptiness That, because of you, becomes less. Just as the summer rain falls down Slowly releasing all that is bound. Giving life to those sleeping, Blissfully aroused and weeping Tears releasing the painful past And washing away the mask. The mask that hides the inner self And that locks in all of the wealth Of openness, honesty Sacrifice and tragedy. Just as the sun slowly sets, So my heart finds no regrets. Just as the night embraces a star I tell myself, “You are not far.” Just as the day comes to an end, So another begins again and again. |
