Step Into The Sea

I hate you.
And yet I love you too.
You confuse me
Amuse me
You make everything a blur

I know from me you will always run
And each time my heart and soul come undone
I despise you
Disgust you
Disappoint you
And stay in your way

It hurts me so much
When I look into your cold angry eyes
It tears me apart
It constantly makes me cry
You are the needle that pricks my finger
Cause a storm to form
That makes the blood flow
That trickles like the tears of all those who mourn
For you, yes you, these tears I shed
From loneliness and darkness take my hand and you will be lead
And sheltered by the soft brushing of an angel's wings
Bathed in endless rays of hope and compassion, shining, sparkling, glittering, like Heaven's golden rings
With each advancing step I take
I take them with faith, determination, and strength for both our sakes
You may shatter and rip apart my heart as many times as you like
For you see my spirit will remain unbroken as long as god gives me the air I breath and the loving heart to keep you always within my sight

You try to resist and push me away
You are afraid and wish from fate and destiny's winds to stray
But I will not step back, for by your side I will always stay
I want to help protect your vision and let you experience life's aurora and colorful array

Only I truly know how wondeful and amazing you are
The sun kisses your face
Stars admire you from afar
And moonbeams caress your cheek
While the misunderstood travelers know it is you they seek

I look into your eyes and marvel and the vibrations of your soul
Fire and ice dancing and flickering in you posses only one goal
As the sea continues to rage and thrash restlessly below
It is in that perfect moment I see
That it is there you want to invite me in and allow those untamed wild icy waters to drown me
But I take your hand and like a misty vision or hazy dream I step on shore
Past is the gentle cool wind that blows and whispers to me from behind urging me forward
Present is the grainy, damp, sticky sand on which I stand looking out onto Horizon's golden
fleece canvas and on it the sunset, you, where I want to move toward
Future is the beckoning waters of uncertainty that are always changing in motion, as they yearn for
me, beg for me to join them in their earnest, pure flowing

I step into you and your ocean
As night drops her holy, moth eaten, but velvety cloak not another word is spoken
You have realized it now and opened your eyes
It was not me at all you wished to defy
But you feelings for me that churned and burned leaving a lifelong scar
That is proof enough you will never allow anything to mar
our beautiful love
That's grace can be measured to that of a dove's
Something that is treasured above
Death and Time will never tear us apart
For this is forever, you are my eternal mate
And not alone but together shall we meet at eternity's gate
And if either passes on before
They will be the ones to open the door

I love you
From me you will never be free
As they chains around your heart ripple and fall into despair's sea
You let me in and are filled with warm light
Like a single tear drop, a brush of the lips, the silky beat of a butterfly's wings, a bird in flight
This is not the end
But only the beginning
May God bless our paths to cross with each winning
And the music box of life to keep winding, twisting, and spinning
Who ever thought that the blending of two hearts, souls, and spirits could be so beautiful and
make life worth living...
