is it Time?

is it time,
my love

for you to arrive?

give me a sign

or have i not been

listening intently

did i not hear your silent call to me

did i miss all that's subtle and better unsaid

I've always known you

felt your presence
since i was a child

floating around me

looking at me

looking over me,

loving me

holding me

smiling

waiting for the day
when the time would come

for me to give you form

when i would become

the instrument

to bring you

into this world

my world...

to soak your soul within mine

drench you in my passions

protect you with my life

and then

all these complications

we weave into our lives

for no good reason

will evaporate

and i know 

in loving you

all the doubts will hush away

my strength will awaken
and take over

i shall find peace

as you take me to my basics

and....

make me an animal again...
