Risking it all..

When it comes too matters of the heart I chose long term gratification over short term gains. I trust my instincts enough to know when it's the right time, and the right person, I am willing to risk it all. 

I choose to wait over loving small
Settling is not an option
No half measures 
No temporary pleasures
When the time is right
I'll give it my all

I'll bring with me passion 
fire and flame
One to run wild with
not one to tame
I'll bring with me laughter
fun and joy
Midnight escapes
Adventures ahoy
I wont kill you with kindness
or trick you with lies
Theres a fire that burns brightly
behind these blue eyes

My heart was once captured
and love grew immensely
Took over my head
I felt love so intensely
Stolen moments of pleasure
brought with it such pain
but it taught me I can sing
and dance in the rain

So I'll choose to wait
I'm not in a hurry
My life is full
so I've no need to worry

If the time comes
and it feels right
I'll unlock the key
I relight the fire
I'll welcome love in
I'll feed the desire 

I'd be more than happy 

to give it my all
and take the risk 

of facing a fall

So if you're not sure
then I'm not your one
Don't come and mess with my heart
If you're just after some fun 

I don't want games

I don't want lies

I want someone with passion 

behind their eyes
I chose to wait over loving small
with someone also willing to risk it all

With you in the Silence

I close my eyes and listen to the breeze, birds singing, traffic sounds from somewhere far in the distance, trees rustling, noises stealing the silence of the moment, senses atingle. I am fully aware of the warmth of the sun on my skin, the slight gust of the wind through my hair and a strong smell of wild garlic.

Completely lost in the moment, thoughts flowing freely in and out of my mind, aware of all my feelings at once and aware where in my body I feel them, from contentment to bliss, switched in everywhere, from the pit of my stomach to the tiny hairs on the back of my neck. 

Love, joy, happiness; glowing, energy is racing through my veins, pouring from my fingertips, from my toes, from my heart, into my head. Ecstasy, engulfing me entirely, fully alive and fully aligned with the earth, from the ground to the sky. Lost somewhere in timeless bliss.  Vibrant colours, shapes and patterns dancing behind closed eyes.

The world outside falls silent, and just for an instant you're here with me. Wrapping your arms around me, feeling your warmth, your love, I'm home, I'm safe. I stay for as long as my thoughts allow and silence is gone. 

Almost at once I feel all my senses return, the ground below me, the sounds in the sky above me, pins and needles, tingling through my fingers and toes, I can hear myself breathing, I touch my heart to feel you once more. 

I am ready... I open my eyes.
