In black and white

In black and white we have colors of painful passions bliss,

uncovered to be discovered laying awake in our hearts.



In everything left breathing in me,

I give to you the depth of my soul.

Lightless home freeing what was done,

to embrace this eminent fall.



I see into your eyes knowing all colors you have are true,

breaking life to make love in all that we have become.



Take me, I am yours.

Ask me, I will do it for you.

Have me, I am here.

Need me, as I need you too.



I can’t breathe without your touch.

Touch me as water falls upon love.

Love what we are one together.

Together where weakness is strong.



Color my heart in black and white my dream,

knowing our rainbow speaks of different light.



Waiting out for the storm to pass,

in our arms where we have no fear.

Blessed beyond comprehension,

made to be what we have in each other.



Paint my heart in your love so beautifully structured,

as one face holds a smile for the life we have inside.



Hold me, I won’t let you fall.

Want me, when the lights go out.

Reap me, as nothingness fades.

Love me, as I love you more.



In your arms my eyes find my comfort.

Comfort your soul I will do.

Do what you will to remember.

Remember my life is in you.
