Deceiving Shadows
………………………………………………………………….

Do not look into the shadows…
Where doubt and skepticism,
Lurk waiting to rob from you,
Dreams and truth to come.

Stay in the light we’ve created…
Stay in the light of my love,
Which holds you close…
And safe in my heart,
Where hope becomes promise,
In the brilliance of my admiration…
For you.

Listen not to words…
That pull you off course,
Throwing gray of caution,
Into clear vision and images…
Of you and me…together.

Let not experiences of the past,
Whisper verses of fear…
That assaults the safety,
Of my love so true …so dear.

The best intentions,
Pave the road to hell…
Where dreams burn,
In the fires of insecurities…
Instilled by those untrue .
Do not allow their deceit…
To cast shadows of energy,
Negative…towards us.

Feel the warmth of my love…
And strength of my energy,
As I pull you…towards me,
Where dreams become reality…
Where we become one…

Where your love will strengthen…
Me further with reassurance…
And purpose,
Where I will find myself,
At home…in the shadows…

Of your love.
