A Tear And A Smile

<br>When we make love I feel it so deeply<br>When we make love I cry<br>When you kiss me my lips they burn with fear<br>For even a love that crowns may crucify<br>In the cradle of creation between the hand of love I died and there you were<br>I was warmed amidst the gaze of your eyes, our minds wounded<br>by The need for understanding, our bodies betrayed by time<br><br>Do you hear me can you taste my pain for love has no other desire but to fulfill itself<br>But to deny yourself the pleasure of that pain is to love selfishly<br><br>I stood there<br>Your heart lay captive in a cage fashioned by your fears not knowing what to say<br>You have many lovers and yet I alone love you far beyond any lily white fairy tale<br><br>I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart for the joys of the multitude<br>And I would not have the tears that sadness makes to flow from my every part turn into laughter<br>I want the hunger for your love and beauty to fill me from the depths of my spirit
