YOU CAME OUT OF NOWHERE

YOU CAME OUT OF

NOWHERE

You came out of the blue

You’ve coloured this life with such hue

You’ve shattered, tattered

This heart all apart

Just when it mattered

It was locked, bolted and barred

From a world so marred

But now it is open

Open to your love

Your passions

Love that I never knew

You’ve touched me in places

Oh such places

That has sent me to heaven and back

Your embraces

The rain can pour

With more, more and more

It’s quenching my thirst

For more and more

Touching my senses

Thirst! Thirst!

Longing

Yearning

Desiring

Craving

It’s all here inside of me

Wanting you needing you

Every second of the day

YOU ARE

YOU ARE

You are the whisper on the wind

The love that never ends

You are my bright shining star

YOU ARE

The soft and gentle caress

You are the love and tenderness

I feel your warmth and the fire

It’s only you that I desire

YOU ARE

My strength just like the bear

Protecting through the night and day

Blowing all worries and nightmares away

I can never imagine a day away from you in anyway

You are my love laid bare

YOU ARE

My wolf, one look in your eyes

Speaks nothing of truth and nor lies

Your loyalty holds no bounds

Courageous, strong and loyal

My hero and best friend

YOU ARE

My future in all that I see

Way beyond the lands and the seas

I see a child is that you or me?

Or could that be the child in our dreams

That is meant for you and me?

YOU ARE

My whole

My soul

A legend

That will never end

CHAOS AND CONFUSION

CHAOS AND CONFUSION

All around is chaos

Confusion

Devastation

Destruction

Whirling

Swirling

Like a tornado

Destroying everything in its path

Sheltering

Can be hard

Nowhere safe and sound

Panic

Pandemonium

The oceans

Whipping up a torrent

Waves pounding

Thrashing

Hammering

Flooding

Gushing

Surging

In towards the land

Devastation

Destruction

Can be seen

Is there nowhere safe?

On this Mother Earths land?

Is this her anger?

Her outrage

Our calling

Our wakeup call

I feel stranded

Isolated

Marooned whilst the storm rages on 

And on all around

Here we both are soaking

Drenched

Cold and damp

Watching and waiting

For this raging storm

To abate
