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
