Saving Grace

Time and time
Again
I fall into
A frozen stance
Where words are
An impossibility
And breathing
Is optional
When you look
At me
Like that
Like I'm
The gift
You always
Wanted
Perfect size...
Perfect fit...
No exchange
Neccessary
When you hold me
In your arms
Tightly
But with care
There's no place
I'd rather be
Then with you
When you kiss me
As only you can
With passionate sweetness
On a hummingbird's wing
It's as if the whole universe
Stops
And takes notice...
When you make love to me
In the night
With sweet deliberate
Strokes...
Each and everytime
I am with you
Near you
The Heaven's seem to part
Their song floats softly
Down
Down to earth...
When we are together
I hear angels singing
And the world's at peace
I'm at peace...
I love the way
You are
I love all that
You're about
I cherish the fact
I bask in the knowledge
That you love me...
For a while...
For a rather long time..
I was as good
As dead
To the world
And to myself
Then you appeared
A modern day
Knight in shining armor
And I was reborn
With the first touch
Of your gentle hand...
And there is nothing
I can say
That would truly convey
Exactly what you are
To me...
You are my love
My hero
My dearest
Best friend
You are my strength
My courage
You are my one true
Saving grace...
