To Be Embraced Like That

Do you know what it is like to be held
Close, and tender
An all encompassing embrace?

The kind where your hearts align
And suddenly you feel an incredible expanse
As though you feel the whole Universe between you two
Emanating out...

The kind which surrounds you with warmth
And pours it within
Reaching a deeper dimension
Where it doesn't stay limited to a physical feeling

The kind where you're so connected your Souls touch
To exist untouched by anything else
In a consortium of joy
Love, and exalted harmony.

Where you actually feel what it is to lose yourself in the moment
In that feeling
In the sheer breadth of that space in time
Experience the moment live and breathe with you
And gently sigh with the weight of the shared calm you both hold.

To be embraced like that

Clasped,

To live like that, in a compound moment -

I think that's what we need.

Shades of Grey

Can we be shades of grey
I want to live in your spectrum
Rejoice in the sunlight of your smile
And to wipe away your frown
When you're trapped in anger
Can I swim in your peace
And we can divide the melancholy bits
Can we live it all
Without having to choose
Can we be simple and complex
Can we be shades of grey?

Would you let me in
When you're feigning bravery
And let me shoulder some of your pain
You don't have to do this alone
Let yourself fall
And allow me to gather your fragile fragments
I'll piece you back together
With my love and strength as the glue.
And I'll be your banister as long as you need one
No matter how steep your life's stairs are
And don't be a fool
You need someone to hold on to
Just don't fight it
And hold on to me
I will see you through

Let us quarrel
Argue till we're spent.
Go ahead
Cut me with your words
Let it out
Let me be your release
It's OK
I'll get back up again

Grant me audience to your laughter
I will sync my smile with yours
I will fuel your amusement
And afford you further reason to chuckle.
And the sun may set
And rise beyond the morning
But we will be constant
In mirth
I guarantee it

Come
I have happiness to spare
Let us bask in the breadth of this joy
And let it envelop us
Till we don't know where I end and you begin.
We can fly
On this magic carpet of bliss
Such a things exists
And I will take you there

And when you're cold
And weak
And falling out of strength
Unlock the door
I will surround you with my care
And heal you back to stability.
There is no disease
That my love can't cure
And I will lay me down
So that you can stand back up

When you crave stillness
I will halt
When you desire solitude
I will disappear
I understand space and silence
And how it will replenish you
I will give you what you want
Even if I can't give it to you

If I feel you, I feel it all
It can't be just the merriment
Or the misery alone
And I don't want to choose
To only love you
Or not to love you at all.

Can we not be black and white?
Can we be shades of grey?

Why...

Both of them felt it
Like they were very deeply connected
Its as if his heart pumped the blood in hers with every beat.
She knew he cared
He knew she cared
But they never connected on a conscious level

She was mesmerised by him
His very Soul seemed to shine through
He was aware that she saw it
But he couldnt do anything about it
And it made him feel insecure
Because nobody had ever noticed it before
He thought it wasnt that significant
But she saw it
And she thought it was beautiful.
Golden, she thought the color to be.
Sparkling golden.
Like sunshine
In the air
It held the colors of the rainbow within it
It left her breathless for a moment
Entranced...

She wondered if he had noticed her
Most of the time she felt insignificant
But if he looked at her
And if he smiled
Just the acknowledgement felt special
She felt special.
She felt loved in a very odd way
Like she knew it, but didnt understand it
At least, not in her heart or mind.
Her Soul knew why she felt that way
But wouldnt let her know
She just felt it was playing tricks on her
Because she didnt know why she was connected to him
Why she felt a connection but didnt know of it
Why she felt it, but couldnt feel it at the same time...
She wished someone would tell her
Or that she could find out why...

She cared for him
Just as he cared for her
In a way neither of them could comprehend
And that scared her slightly
She's also scared that he knows it
Still, she derives comfort that he knows it

What they share is special
Something so beautiful, she wondered
How either of them lived without it for as long as they did
But it's entirety will always remain a mystery
And perhaps in Time, understanding will develop
But until then, they shall continue
With the glances
And the smiles
And all the hidden meanings
And their individual interpretations of such...

She never really chose him
And he never really chose her
Yet they touched each either
On a level only they could access
She feels special
She feels grateful
It happened
But she doesnt know why...
