Release and Return

Missing image



With eyes full of tender love
She beckons with the gentleness of a dove
I come with arms open wide
Nothing to hide the love I have inside
I am bare without shame
For my character she does not defame
I wrap my body around her skin
She calls me to enter in
I climb inside her soul
And relinquish all control
For a moment we are one
My devotion she has won
I let go of my tender squeeze
As release her back to the breeze
My arms empty and alone
With a coldness that chills to the bone
She has gone as fast as she came
For she is wild, not tame 

              

                   Her heart, he stole
                   By opening his soul
                   Releasing her, to fly 
                   Saying greed's painful goodbye

                   Didn't he know
                   She is no ones to let go
                   Unconditional love lives by free will
                   Far beyond an earthly thrill 

                   Is never attained
                   Bound in chains
                   Acceptance echoed in his voice
                   Therefor, she returned, by choice

                   Just as the seasons change
                   The spirit can't be tamed
                   Both must step aside
                   From all selfish pride

                   Have faith and let fate take play
                   This is how we live with love, every day

    "Didn't he know
    She is no ones to let go"

    PERFECT; that summed it all up, and usually you hear of a MAN being too wild to tame, it's great to hear it about a woman - and a very inspiring work it was too!
