Analysis of You Called My Name
Love I met in your eyes
oh that this world was not so barren
that I could have yielded as I needed
silken thread of childlike love
as it nestled in my heart.
In my ribcage a dove that sees beyond the horizon
and a solitary child on a swing it whispers of love
for love's reason
and fingers of time that would to undo the weaving
your tear fell into my eye for the reason of redeeming.
You sighed and I felt it on my lashes
tender, forever storms it hushes
And you in my heart nestling like a child
clean linen in the window, scent of purity
and whispers and smile from the distance
into eternity...
You called me for no other reason but love
and the softness of it all, like hand in glove
fitter the reasons and causes of my whole existence
Oh, your heart smiles at me as the reflections on my window dance.
I Love You
