My Lover

My lover's sweet voice calms the war inside my mind
Like soft music to the ear
The beautiful splash of the ocean's diamonds upon the shore
A calm dream on a nice summer's eve
A voice I always long to hear.

My lover chases away the darkness
Like the rising sun on a new early morning
When dark clouds upon my mind clear for the first time
A dark storm clearing away after such a long time
A kiss that makes the pain less and less.

My lover's golden touch softens my hard heart
Like a warm bath after being out in the cold
When there's nothing else to thaw the heart
A nice warm touch of sun on a cold hardened face
A touch that makes the darkness fall apart.

My lover knows how to calm the raging storm in my mind
Like a soft rain to calm the thirsty trees outside
When the feeling of accomplishment comes after millions of failures
A calm sea flowing off into the distance
A calm that is hard for some to find.

Our love will last forever
For she is mine as I am hers
She is the very thing I'm not
She is true and forgiving
She is my lover.
