His thoughts meander off down the river
The river of exploration
No hold as to where they will end up
He has surrendered to the experience of flow
Trusting the banks will hold him,
Support and guide him, take him to his final destination

The sun shines upon her, each sparkle a promise of seduction
Inviting you to come in, enjoy her
Allow her cool self to wash over you
Cleanse and clear you of the debris of hurt and mistrust
Lay within her, feel her consume you from inside and out

Allow the ripples of her being to ease over and through you
She is you, she is every emotion you have dared to express
Every tear, every smile, every touch, every taste
She has never left you, leaving her imprint on your mind
So you never forget her, her memory deep within yours

She takes him by the hand as they fall in deeper
His eyes drinking up all of her, never leaving her being
His heart beats harder and harder as he feels the loss of his control
She is entering his heart, his mind and his soul
There is nothing he can do
There is nothing he wants to do

He surrenders all of who he is
He surrenders it all to her
She smiles as she sees this within his eyes
She has no intention of keeping his mind forever
But for now it is hers, as is his body

She traces the lines of the scars
The scars that run deep with the pain of the past
Her eyes never leaving his as she gently goes deep
Deep into his being, his shadow of self
For this is the place of truth, this is the place she seeks

It is still, it is dark, there is fear around every corner
Yet there they are, both together, exploring each other
While indulging in the truth of each
‘I see you’ she whispers softly
And she does, she sees all of the man which is within her hands
Within her heart and her sex

Those words no longer conjure up the fear of the past
Those words no longer grip his heart
For he knows them to be true
No other woman, no other being could see him as she
For no other woman can penetrate his heart, as she does
