My Defeat

It was slow and soothing like the ebbing of the sea
This was the way your love swept over every inch of me
I had never felt my heart beating ever so clear
It was for you, my love, everytime you stood near

The water had never seemed so blue nor ever so deep
My spirit had awoken from all the years of quiet sleep
And all these moments that my heart suddenly inhaled
Were because of you, who this blissful new world unveiled

And when the crashing waves thrashed my body in pure rapture
I never sought the air, my love was always yours to capture
I chose to drown completely in your radiant, joyful being
No other experience has ever been so fulfilling or so freeing

I have reached you completely, we are absolute
When I look into your eyes, we are resolute
My walls have crumbled, this is my defeat
I love you, you know this, I am complete
