Time Stops At Your Door

Being more than a woman…

 your vision enraptured

 making me more than a man

 

Being more than a woman…

 my thoughts solely focus

 doing all that I can

 

Being more than a woman…

 my days are too long and

 our nights are too short

 

Being more than a woman…

 my ceiling is raised

 with new feelings to court

 

Being more than a woman…

  my virility strengthened

  my bravery charged

 

Being more than a woman…

 all pettiness gone

 with my choices enlarged

 

Being more than a woman…

 your breath is on fire

 your touch turns to gold

 

Being more than a woman…

 new promises to keep

 vows to never grow old

 

Being more than a woman…

 past-future rejected

 time stops at your door

 

Being more than a woman

 our love you’ve protected

 —and released ever more
