Defenseless

Defenseless
Nothing really left to say
Captured by my own appetite
and thirst to experience a love unknown
  shackled by confusion
 
Hear me when I say no more
No more to be lead to what is thought to be
 the point
of no return
this the last and final frontier or so I thought
 
I was never too proud to beg,
but never wanted to be blinded by the uncertainty 
your mystery procures
My mind constantly embracing the intellect
that escapes your lips
leaping into my heart
 
Smitten by the warmth your soul flaunts
Yet unable to translate
Until the sum of all my fears
strikes a hearty blow
When no longer a part of you
 
Patiently waiting for an invitation
for you to play the sound of midnight
Often leaves the question
 Give you my devotion, remaining
Defenseless or leave while
allowing the tears
to refresh your memory when someone else
breaks your heart

Knowing Me

Do you know where I came from
Or where I want to go?
Do you know where my happiness lies
Or what touches my soul?
 
Do you know what shields me
Or what makes me defenseless?
Do you know how bright my heart shines
Or what peaks my interest?
 
Do you know how I love thee
Or how to satisfy?
Do you know how to love me
Or should tears I cry?
 
Knowing you is knowing me.
