Gift

I promised you the moon
So that you could pull me to you like the tide
 I promised you the stars
 So that I could see them shine in your eyes
 I clutch you in my arms
 Like every childhood treasure I ever had
 I press my lips to yours
 To prove they are perfectly matched
 I wear your ring on my finger
 A small and sacred shackle to your heart
 I give all that I am to you
 Such a small gift to show my love for you

New World

I hear the music and a cathedral is erected
The tears trail and I want all to be darkness
Just so I can hear it more clearly
Give in to every vocal, every crescendo, ever beat
I have nothing but gratitude for this visceral reaction
This moment of complete and total vulnerability
Where I am lost and abandoned and surrendered
My skin aches and my muscles are slack and I am at complete peace
