I face you now and see into your eyes, nothing hidden
Stripped of all fears, uncovered needs and all guilt ridden
Upon my knees to drop before your hands I give
I am not less to offer openly to you this love I live

I wait in faith, innocent and precious, as you have earned this right
I have no need of cover; I am exposed, in decent aura bright
I kiss your palm, expression of my trust in you this deep
I am not more to offer of myself, forever yours to keep

I speak my heart in every breath to seek direct connection
Sincere of every word to take my place in your reflection
And by your side I will remain to tend the flame, eternal fire
I am a part of you, to take my lead in reverence and pure desire

I face you now to bare my soul and bow my head in listen
Sharing daily work, to keep you warm in fireside glisten
I hold your heart against my own, for we are one
I have not pride, but all there is, in love so richly done

I found myself taking this spoken two different ways.  Probably just me...truly liked the way this made me think.  (Something I mostly avoid...lol)

I don't know why but I think of the line from Cleopatra when the Roman soldier finds her dead...and he asks the dying slave: "Was this well done of your lady" and she replies, "Yes, very well done!" Beautiful TD!

I can see such pure desires and REAL love in your words.  such a lovely sentiment!

Love, Light and Peace,

Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow.
But above all... be kind to yourself today.
