Here's my heart, my soul ...
my waking breath
the moon...
the stars ...
and all of this
I must give you all..
for what what else is there
to give

If I stop to think
to blink
I second guess
what if
But before.. I breathe...

Here's my heart, my soul ...
my waking breath
the moon...
the stars ...
and all of this
I must give you all..
for what what else is there
to give

Like an echantress ...
you could seduce my heart..
piece by piece
tear it apart...
split my my world
in two...
but in my heart
I've always knew...

Here's my heart, my soul ...
my waking breath
the moon...
the stars ...
and all of this
I must give you all..
for what what else is there
to give?...

I remember the first day
the hour i saw you
those blue eyes...
took my breath..
away
and since
I've never been the same...

Now like a child
I look at my shoes
trying to find the words
to choose
stuttering... I open my lips
to say...

Here's my heart, my soul ...
my waking breath
the moon...
the stars ...
and all of this
I must give you all..
for what what else is there
to give?...

Then my heart skips a beat
as yousmile
and through the tears
you sweetly
say to me...

Here's my heart, my soul ...
my waking breath
the moon...
the stars ...
and all of this
I must give you all..
for what what else is there
to give?...

Well that was simply lovely and could very well be a long song.  I enjoyed the repetitive verses as they added to the strength of it.  I realy enjoyed the smoothness of your writing and the poem. Oh, psst, I think you mean enchantress right?

Me too, Brad. It has such a songlike feeling. And a happy ending, I love those.

Wow, this is beautiful…just beautiful

Here's my heart, my soul ...
my waking breath
the moon...
the stars ...

to give?...

What else indeed?? What else would one need? All the gold in the world does not compare to a gift like this….a gift of the heart.

                                and all of this
                              I must give you all..
                            for what what else is there
                                   to give"

You're right!
