The King And I
To love you has become second nature
To feel your heartbeat has become my desire
To feel your lips gently upon my own
Each time it sets my soul afire.

To look into your eyes each morning
To know that with my King I'm finally home
To feel your soul join with mine once again
For real love to be genuinely and truly shown

To feel the hand of the one with whom mine fits so perfect
To feel skin on skin as while we dream our bodies dance
Somehow it gets us to the point of no return
It's got me thinking the Fates felt we deserved a chance.

To know that at any given point of any future days
We may be talking about good memories long past
When we start to reminise on how it feels to love this way
We'll laugh longingly thinking time's moving too fast.

To feel like royalty just for a moment however brief
To feel as if the entire world awaits the moment you arrive
To know the moment may be fleeting so you grasp it firmly
Pray that the previous night's tears are the last you ever cry.

To know that time has prepared its trials made for you
Also knowing the knowledge is there, just under lock and key
So much difference and indesicion hold us back from truth
I'm hoping I find the real truth of how you feel for me.

We're on a swirling tunnel ride going faster than ever before
Holding on for dearest life as we draw closer to the dark
My head's thought process jumbled from the now calming spin
Realizing our love is the kind that leaves a forever mark.

I have dreamt you into the real world it appears to me
And I'm enchanted by the curiosity of the power I must possess
Is it possible that my energy is what has drawn you to me
And I'm sure you must think that I'm a total destructive mess.

I have the deepest ties to you that anyone could
And I hold in sorrowful words as I watch you walk the other way
I'm ready to experience the truth of your full undivided love's fire
I'll allow you to burn me to the ground for it's with fire I play.

To my deepest core I can feel the unrelenting heat of you
I embrace it happily, I look forward to the slow steady burn
This is the point in the story I start to really surrender my whole self
To truly please thy King, is a lesson I must learn.

Given another chance for the continuence of a former legacy
Only this time there can be no failure between the souls
I must just make sure the rightful King has the Queen by his side
So that neither of us is made to walk between the realms all alone.

The last journey I was forced to share.   what belonged to me
So the days and nights grew cold with time's passing
And then before I was ready to let you go I got used to you not there
I could've begged on my knees but there wasnt a point in asking.

I couldnt give you the things needed when it began back then
I was promised to you when I was simply a child who didnt understand
A young widow's girl as a payment for a tyrants unpaid debts
Just an unknowing, scared chiId,sent off with a older man.

To love thee has become a second part of nature for me
To feel the heat from the blood racing throughout your veins
To feel that forced kiss that you made me to recieve
Made me realize that some of the best pleasure comes from pain.

To love thee has been just what my wandering soul needed
To feel the touch of your lips on mine, your hand in my hand
I knew the first moment the whole thing really started
And when I surrendered to you the screams were heard across the land.
