Lust Can't Become Love

Trusting that faith heals all wounds

Like the nourishment of a baby from her mother's womb

Time will heal us

Time will heal us

And time will heal us 

Once a beautiful soul

Now withered and hardened

Is becoming that soft rose again

After giving away so much, now finally, bringing some of it back in

God is nursing my wounds

And I, making mends 

As I approach a confused soul, 

It starts to begin 

You ask me why I'm celibate 

And I answer.

You finally understand.

I can no longer be touched so openly and willingly 

Giving my whole being to you

Creating a space inside of me just for you

With the worries that

This will not lasts,

Walking together wont always be on the same path 

I can't scream for you, knowing one day I wont even talk to you

Make eye contact with you 

Steal a kiss from you 

I cant lock hands with yours holding you as we share unspoken desires knowing 

You don't see me having a child with you

Sharing my life with you 

This body is a blessing and isn't obliged to share

Unless that sharing is with a man who honestly cares

Maybe by me telling you something about myself, this will tell you something about you

See,I desire a man to be my soulmate, to be my lover, share passions without it being a sin

Share my beliefs, learn and love together past days end

But If I have to walk this path alone for years, I will

For It is better to have never loved at all 

then to have thought lust could become love. 

In mind

Keep me in mind even in the worst of times

When darkness has began to rule over love’s sublime

Ponder how I am and if you’ve stepped through my mind

Even when another woman’s love has treated you un-kind

Don’t forget my touch and how I would cling to you in sleep

Remember where’d I’d lye on your body

As I let my deep secrets seap

Out of my mouth and into your mind

Please don’t let me be forgotten with time

I, still think of your laughter

You, still make me smile

I, will not tell a lie

But I was in denial

Of your affect on my soul

I with you, was more than whole

Please remember the feeling

We shared when we kissed

Remember our minds finding eachother in love’s abyss

If you never want to re-kindle the fire

That burned chaud within us

And still warms my entirety past this day

Please just don’t forget us

And…

If you are so lucky to find love in due time

All I ask is that you keep me in mind

Dance is my ammunition and at this moment I am on a mission 

To delve into a fresh transition

Leaps and jetés no inhibition 

Pirouettes ridding my inflictions 

I move like a sand goddess in a storm's ambition 

Yes, this is my ammunition

New, fresh beauty, 

Can't see through me 

A second look 

Wont tell a soul 

Never have I felt so whole 

Strong back, holding my portabras and pain 

Grateful for this life, taking no movements in vain

I dance, I breathe , I own this stage

This Stage of Life. 

I, and no one else 

Took my hand 

I stop, look around, and bow

Dance is my ammunition.
