WITHIN YOUR ARMS

Sweet soft perfumed skin
Long flowing hair like silk
Cascading down my shoulders bare
My heart beating seeking your care

A window to my soul
Letting you so deep inside
Spaces within never touched
Before your gentle way stayed

Caress my skin and spirit within
Free me from the binds of the past
Let me know that your way will last
Show me how to begin to let in more
Scared of so much that I never felt before

Tender hearted with love so true
A sweet essence that wants to bloom
Within your arms finding such bliss
Never before understood before your kiss

To walk along this path and not run away
Going so much deeper than ever before
Risking my heart so tender true and sweet
I look into those eyes and my fear abates

Letting go letting in and rejoicing again
Finding the courage to open to all so new
Being true to who I am inside always
Releasing old doubts opening new doors
Feeling so much more alive than ever before
