this entire world
is lifted up
with great expressions
of love
of passion
of courage
inspiration touches all
and makes life better for everyone
it is not the warrior
that is most courageous
control is an illusion of mutual consent
dying is easier
living is harder
when most people live as if they were dead
courage
is daring to dream
daring to love
daring to make love real
daring to surrender to each other
to be one
to be who we truly are
and share as one
love does not judge
but delights in the beauty that is real
love is so creative
each day finding new ways
to love
to create
to express
my sweet love, you are the artist
and I your canvas
your love the inspiration
your touch, you lips
the brushes
paint your love upon me
on my lips
on my flesh
give to me your colors, your moods
the fine, the broad brush strokes of your love
the cool, moist, verdant green of your eyes
the hot, fiery red of your hair
this canvas has been long scorched
by a harsh sun
and thirsts for you
for the expression of your love
You will be my flower
and I will be your rain, your sun
I cherish you
I adore you
I will hold you so no cold can harm you
within the warmth of our arms
our love flourishes
we are like the spring
with sweet green leaves
abundant yellow sunflowers
inside
the light always shines
radiant sunlight
mystical moonlight
dreamy starlight
your love makes magic in me
and it is ours to share
and the world
will feel our love
and be lifted up
