Open...

Open my eyes to a shaded hue
to a memory of you before me
Open my eyes as the day first begins
and the warmth felt within,
my desire to love you
my yearning to feel you
close to me.

Open my mouth to fresh autumn air
to the breath that your stare couldn't hold
Open my mouth to speak your melody
And the depths of my dreams
I find stamped in your speech
and wrapped in your tongue
tied for me.

Open my arms to your comforting rest
your unyielding strength, my shield
Open my arms to feel your embrace
your heat upon my skin
the rushing of your veins
spirit seeping through your pores

And that open honesty
that pure and rarest form for me
for you to open up my dreams
and wake me each morning
I'll share with you my secrets....
