The Woman I Am BCR

The Woman I Am

The woman I break in front of you
Is accumulated years
Some nameless fears
Some beseeching tears
Shameless in hope of you.

The woman I am is me
That hardly anyone else will ever see
These days my life crystallizes
Things are frank and uncertain
No apologies
For being me anymore
And I am your
Woman
At the backdoor of ...

Time cascading in peals of laughter
I can smile you through my tears
Like pearly white stars
I can make you love me
From far...
Just so you sleep at night.

And the woman I  am
Will permit you no  tears
For the cost of taking my time
Taking my lilting  rhyme
Ending the chimera chimes
Of  charming interludes...
Taking the time
Riding through woods of
Darkness. ..

The woman I break in front of you
Will push the frontiers of endurance
And never see the ending
Of a world...
Of you and of me...
Never see
How it only took time
To break me.

The oceans at world's end
Caress my feet

The tree of truth bends eternal
To meet the kiss of my lips
The tree of life unbending.....
uplifting branches towards
Knowledge
Of Good
Of Evil
Good Luck and Fate
Let's me  in at the  watergate
Of my existence

And there I stand
In the  infinite whirlpool. ...
The unending cesspool
The whirlwind in my hair
The torrid desert in my heart
The liquid links to you
Glistening in my unshielded eyes...love endless
Infinity of stars
Unexpected faith
Endless grace

There I stand
The shy brazen woman I am
Singing
My love song to you
Softly.
