Paradise: In The Circle Of Your Arms



One step at a time. You guided me
Each step of the way, holding me firmly
When I was slipping into
An easy web, glittering; glowing with evil.
So simply you brushed away the complex tangles,
Revealing something that was there all along,
Just waiting to be discovered by you, and by me.
We made the place, and the promise, all our own.
Trysts of the heart. You made me feel
Like every word of love, and each gesture of adoration
Was created for you, by me,
Limitless; as far as expression can reach.
Feelings do not have barriers; they cannot be contained
And why should they be controlled?
I was waiting to drain the draughts of love from my being;
You became the channel to your own heart.
Love is not blind. For my eyes observe in you
Qualities that blind the world.
I love you for whatever I perceive,
Some of which is invisible to you, even.
Can you see the love from your eyes reflected in my own?
My heart is no virtual mirage, but a fertile oasis
Watered with desire; you may lay your love
In the arms of a wandering Dreamer that was.
I shall remember that day forever. When you said
You would never forget me all your life.
Always, always... the memory of the laughter,
The taste of tears, the pain
And the comfort of reassurance
Will soothe me, as it does now;
It will remind me
Of the plain manifestation of our love.
The day came to a close. It left me
More serious; my mind, more grave,
Considering, contemplating and conceptualizing life, as a whole,
From a new perspective. It is no longer possible
To laugh so easily at life's little follies. It left me
That much more in love with you,
And with the Paradise I discovered
In the circle of your arms.
