ON THAT NIGHT

It all changed so fast
Taken by surprise
How a relationship changes
Blossoming into so much more

Understanding the whole
Just letting go
Taken by you
Never a chance to come up for air
To breathe anew for you took charge

Embraced by such strong arms
Yet a gentleness in your eyes
Somehow not the expected
In that moment so much changed

Laying in those arms
Feeling your intensity matching mine
So much going on at once
Surrounded by beauty of another kind

Piano playing with such rhythm
Swaying back and forth
My body relenting to your embrace
Never knowing this place before you

On that night I was captivated
Driven from gentleness
Softest of touch
To the height of unknowable passion

Deep from within all became clear
In the misty morning air
Scent filled within the clutches of loves passion
Your eyes say it all and so much more

Playing on my heart you plucked the strings
A relationship undergoing profound change
Opening up to so much more
Now that you have walked through my door
Wanting so much more from within a cradle of free will
