Suddenly I'm Not Scared

Supple and sweet,
Covers and downy.
Smirks and laughter
Drowned the silent reverie.
Surrendering to the tide,
Losing
Unleashing
Sinking in.
Up to a high
Down to a low;
Like a wave
Refreshing to the deepest of the soul.
Sighing in satisfaction,
Keeping to the rhythm
Of two
now one.

Now blinking

In the warmth

Under the teasing sunrise.

Eyes opening,
Trying to comprehend,

Able to remember.

And I

Turn.

And I

Shiver.

It wasn't just a dream.

You were                
there.

first.

Oh love ain't so tough, you will see
Just open up your arms to me
And don't make no vow you can't keep
And I'll lay my pride down at your feet.
