Dam/ned Love Set Free

This effusive heart wants to pour forth
All I think and feel for you
In spontaneous overflow
Uncorked, unveiled, raw and naked truth
Tumbling forth with unabashed fervor

Damn these dams that keep us bound
These social/moral standards and protocols
That limit free-flowing energy
That expect reason and controlled responses
When the only reasonable response to such beauty –
Such love – is to let it gush unhindered

To free this agony of pent up passion
And tell you how I really feel –
Show you how I really feel
Because these words on a page are but a trickle
Bleeding forth from that massive ball of energy
That's been walled inside this skin, this heart, this soul
And you have no idea what you're doing to me – for me
So please, grant me some release – some freedom
Let me tell you; let me show you
Let me baptize you in the waters of love
