My heart spread wide open

You remind me of the sunset,

The way the ocean glistened

To mirror the feelings I wanted to convey,

I quietly inched toward you

But the yearning grew

Until all I could hear was your voice,

Crying out in tones of ecstasy

For a moment I wanted possession over you,

The ice thawed

I saw your face

And my heart spread wide open

To where my mind felt like it was dangling

On a tightrope above monstrous flames

I feel my heart rise to a crescendo

I feel my heart rise to a crescendo

A sound that matches

The echo of an angel's falsetto

Flowing like silk from its throat

You catch me as my breathing

Tries to return to normal

But my heart has not stopped

Responding to the song we make

When no barriers exist

Your affection is the dream

Your affection is the dream

That I never want to end

Reciprocity used to live in the clouds

Untouchable

Like a dragon protected by the Gods

But here you are in front of me,

Your heartbeat fills the silence

As I fight to control the fire

Spreading rapidly in my abdomen

I wasn't drawn to the competition

Or the feeling of claiming someone

Yet I desired to become yours

And I wanted you to become mine

In ways that solidify my imagination

A mutual responsibility

As two souls forming their own universe
