Analysis of 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

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
