You are like a hot cup of coffee on December mornings. An
ice-cold shower in the middle of july. You are rain tapping out
secret messages on my window, whispering untold stories of our
future on an island not known to man. I am going to love you as
fiercely as ocean winds that rip through the clouds like
tigers' teeth and bear claws. Like wolves making midnight
wishes on amber moons that resonate across the sky that
twinkles like movie-star smiles and shake every last tree in
the forest.
There's always somebody
taller, with more of a wit
He's equipped to entrall her, her friends
think he's fit
And you just can't measure up, no you don't
have a prayer
Wishing you made the most of her when she was
there
"I wanted you to see what real courage is - instead of
getting the idea that courage is a man holding a gun in his hand.
It's when you know you're licked before you go in, but
you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. You rarely
win, but sometimes you do."
Your body is made of the same elements that lionesses are built
from. Three quarters of you is the same kind of water that beats
rocks to rubble, wears stones away. Your DNA translates into the
same twenty amino acids that wolf genes code for. When you look
in the mirror and feel weak, remember, the air you breathe in
fuels fuels forest fires capable of destroying everything they
touch. On the days you feel ugly, remember; diamonds are only
carbon.
You are so much more.
I want to be
hidden under your warmth
tucked in your sighs
wrapped around your promises
soothed by your charm
and whisked away into
the comfort of your love
