Entirety Of Love

 

I need you

I need your attention

The certainty of your love

To seek out a new life with my presence at night

I need your emotions to wrap me within itself

 

In the deepest layers of needs

Oh I need you

And my need has no greed

I assure you

 

I need your passion to justify me as a woman

As a dignified truce

 

I need you when the sense of darkness hovers over the depth of my soul

I need you for me

For my worrisome thoughts at night

 

Oh I need you

I need you to take me to the height of your power

I need you like the leaves that bloom on a tree under the sun

Like the stream surrounding a new life

With purity and the essence of love

 

I need your open arms

At the peak of my illusion

In the darkest moments of my day

 

I need you as the sun touches the moon for its transaction of light

When the birds awaken

In the sleepy meadow on the mountaintop

 

I need you as fresh air blows the power of love around nature

I need you on my skin as clean blossoms with the touch of morning dew

 

I need you

As the time moves from spring to autumn

When wild geese are dancing in the icy lake next to a winter garden

With a touch of an entirety of love
