Embrace

If only you knew the strength i hold behind my desire
How it swells beyond my body's limits
You could summon the power with just a look or a touch
And feel it in its fullness
All it takes is a gestured welcome

I will grasp you with such a vigorous intensity
And let you feel the careful strength
Of my heart holding yours

We'll share the look of beholding something precious
Where the eyes slant in and relax to release a tear

Oh I hope these words capture a force of passion
As I'm pressing each one down with everything I am

For your love moves me to do the things
That I could never do without your permission
Releasing all my inhibitions
To defeat the fear of the flame
