tonight i cannot climb the turrets. i can not navigate the maze. i am no white knight on a charger.
i can no longer, quixotic in the moonlight of my love for you, tilt at your fears.
i am a girl in love and tonight i want to lie down beside you, soft and warm, without a fight.
we deserve love, you and i, and the grace that comes with it; the simple comforts and the great ones.
the treasure sought is the hand held, the soft look, the gift of shared laughter, the magic of passion fired by conversation that never stops and kisses with no end
i know this. yes, i know this.
i would like to know if you do.
i am tired of wondering. i am weary of "why."
i am no longer strong enough to skirt the landmines that you carelessly strew about you like so many stars in a cold winter sky
i have lost my bearings. i have no compass, save for the lodestone of my heart which always and in all ways points me back to you.
