i love slow & sweet… and hard & reckless
…and in racing heartbeats

a few hard edges in you
and they just need a little soft touch,
and there are these tender places
in me that just need to know
this is a good love,
and maybe that thing i feel in the
way you take my hand…
how it’s slow, but certain,
i think it’s how we feel the light come in,
and maybe for just this moment
a little softness, and a little good love…
that’s all we have to be.

to just let someone be good to me…

places into breathing,
this. warm sun… how it wakes
a motion
you take this feeling in me
and turn it into a high road,
and an open life
you can’t come here and ask me
to feel all this love, and not turn it
into the shape of you…
you make everything beautiful,
everything about you is
made of soul
and you say we’ll find a way…
promise me we’ll find our way

and it’s full of all these big dreams,
and maybe sometimes these dreams feel too big,
and maybe sometimes all of this feels too hard,
but the heavens want to have favor on you,
and it may take a long time, but it will happen
in its right time… so take a deep breath
and just hold on

enough to hold someone’s
full attention,
don’t settle for anyone who
tries to come to you with
theirs divided.
