A Love that is more than I could imagine
Alone after all
Not looking for love again
There was once a time of end
Of void and null
A time of none to spend
A life of conflict and hateful
There a time for death to call
My soul loss the deal
A time to hope I would feel
That should I live after
A white picket fence
I would come home to forever
The 8 to 5 would be so easy
The lonely survivor feel
Would be over
Now I knew that life
Would not come to be ever
I would know love
Not in completeness
My time of learning long, diverse
A life alone but for my kids
A life lived in sets
My own terms no regrets
I had no knowing of you
Meeting you like many others
Seemed so simple fun with you
Hold you at arms length, no pains
Not looking anyways
Having long learned and diverse
To keep my thoughts honest, open
And free to others minds I feel
I needed only to have my butt busted
To see the courage I knew couldn’t exist
My eyes blown open
To see you are not like the rest
Now that I have found you
Did I just lose this Lioness
With my thoughts
Racing, she likes you
Or she would not be like this
An end of beginnings
Of new yearnings
To know only more of you
Resistant I knew you would be
You are like me
Common of much trying just for you to see
Life on your own, learning long and diverse
You didn’t need me
Certainly not close
You preferred friends for love
Keep them at arms length
A wall to keep them, no pains
A very high wall did I traverse
Little did you know
The love you allowed to grow
Brought a mighty wall down
All of it’s own
My wall I kept secret
No more willing to admit
Than you, I've grown
To love more than I could imagine
The little things you've seen
The love in your eyes I’ve seen
Your love is now the glue that holds
My heart together
Your love is the light that guides
You have given me back my soul
Now we are all of each other
Now I know heaven is
Wherever you are
You stand beside me
When life is hard
You don’t run away
You amaze me
You are so beautiful
It’s not possible to measure my Love
To look for one good woman
To be worth more than all the gold or power
In the universe
And find such greatness
So far beyond that is so much more
Than a love I could imagine
