Did you know?
The color of the sky is different when you're around
The taste of food changes
The perfume in the air takes on a new fragrance
Did you know?
A soothing sound fills the room you enter
A new electricity crackles on my skin
Did you know?
That I can't take my eyes off you when you're in the same place as me
That not being able to kiss you is always torture
That not being able to hold you is torture
That not being able to show the world anything is damnation
Did you know?
That our rare moments together are my favorite
That our kisses stop time
That your smile lights up my darkest nights
That your caresses calm the fury of my heart
Did you know?
When the melodies of our bodies are aligned our energy is multiplied tenfold
When our silences replace our troubled words the language of our eyes becomes eloquent
When we sleep close together, our nights are calm and soothed.
Did you know all this?
Do you realize it?
The magic of our love
It's all too fast
I can't find the words
To stop the floods
To stop the pain
It's all going too fast
A headlong rush forward
A headlong rush pushed by the wind
A headlong rush against time
It's all too fast
Will I find the tempo to stop
Will I find the tempo to land
Will I find the tempo to let go
It's all too fast
And I draw you to me
Like a whirlwind of faith
Am I your king?
It's all too fast
You resist
You follow your own rhythm
You don't fall apart
It's all too fast
I'm taking you with me
You don't do as I do
You slow down
Maybe you'll...
It's all too fast
& You're dragging your feet
Will you help me relax?
Will you help me slow down?
It's all too fast
You touch me
You embrace me
You kiss me
Things don't go too fast anymore
Wrapped in eccentric melodies
Senses like waves
Sometimes open inward
Sometimes turned outward
I'm lulled into many harmonious & mysterious languages
Endless journeys await me
All I have to do is let go
Close my eyes
& I'm carried away
Sounds become images
Images become stories
Stories become guides
Guides become kingdoms that come to life
Chimerical creatures
Mysteries of souls
Unknown lands
Elements unchained or grandiloquent
Places of courage
Fear
Nightmares
Trauma
Where hope is reborn
Where hope finds its strength, its origin
Where melodies guide
Where voices open paths
The two together transport us to an elsewhere unique to each of us
& when we return to the world
The layers of sound draw closer
Gain in power
envelop us
& keep us company
So what we've conquered isn't lost
& stays with us where we need it
