Bare And Aware
by Quinlan L Gibson

Three years all fell into the past; unwrapped, made bare and exposed
Both to and for you in belief that mind controls heart; is this the start of it all?
Possessed,I feel I have left this past life and begun anew, solidified you; I am cleansed
Inside and out, what it’s all about; the gift that keeps giving and I’m living a dream.
The very same one that I wished on, thought to have wasted; I have tasted the power of love.
He’s consumed me, baptized in his core; Everything I asked for, it’s surreal say the least.
Completely stripped down with a silvery lining; timing compliments perfection.
We walk same direction, verified our perception of how we want our life to be.
I no longer see you without me, my promises carry same weight and degree
you will get what you give twice fold, keep setting me up, how I love that you told me I’m beautiful.
I am sold and surrender to mesh my life with yours, anywhere you will take me,
We’ve opened new doors, committed beyond rings and vows here and now.
I stop, smell the roses, plant more.
