Now and Forever


 

A hand

desperately craved

twisting and stretching

pulling my strings

 

Now, in this new land

To sense I’m enslaved

Yet, so refreshing

And to it I cling

 

Fight it, I cannot

And I dare not try

secretly craving for more

the feeling so tender

 

it becomes my blind spot

To past days,one final goodbye

before

singing as I sink slowly into surrender

 

Logic would have it dictated mere dreaming  

For it is a caress, engulfing my entire being

to feel Love is truly all that I need

Now and Forever, to this desire I shall heed
