In The Stillness

In the stillness of the night
I feel you with me
I hear your heart beat
With my own
And with each beat
Our love grows
With a fierceness
Yet unknown

The heady staccato
Of passion's call
A perfect rhythm
Pounds inside
Invoking feelings
So intense
So overwhelming
From them I tried to hide

Yet the rhythm
Called to me
Lured me slowly
Into the night
A timid creature
So familiar with the dark
I shrank back
From it's light

But the rhythm
Still called to me
"Release the burden
Of your fears
My love for you
Will ease your load,
Come take my hand
And dry your tears"

And looking up
I saw your face
Loves pure light
Within you glows
And then the darkness
From in me fled
Replaced with a radiance
That only true love shows
