No Need

There is so much peace in Love,

in the reassurance that your heart beats in tune

with another's 

not the rush of sugar,
but the slow dripping of honey

The eyes, it's all in the eyes

I know you like the lines 

of my hand, you know me... 

intimacy becomes a dull exercise

can we get any closer 

without being glued ...

what a treat, we live apart and we meet 

like the night and the day 

like June starts with may...

May...

clean like the tears that you spill 

when you think I don't see 

you're my sea.

away from their lies 

I grow strong 

with you by my side 

even my strides become long

what a treat when we meet 

Those who'll never know this fire 

scream desire, but in hell

ours makes the heavens sweat 

they will never know 

that you haven't touched me yet...

yet I know... how it feels 

can we wait longer still 

can we love and stand still 

only Love brings you peace.

what did I do to deserve you 

battling armies of snakes 

and reptiles
head held high
you my gentleman gentle man

you know I don't need you, I can't

but how I want you... no one can understand
the warmth we spread when we stand hand in hand
you make me want to tell  stories...
you make me sing...
you laugh and say I am a queen
a haughty one,
I know that one, the ice that can cover my eyes
just like I know you are my king
you are my king ...
