Can love be contained by four walls? Or is it bigger than that?

Beyond the Atmosphere 

What you see 

isn't what it appears to be. 

It isn't panic in my eye. 

It's a wish for a clear blue sky. 

~ 

When darkness comes to call 

my greatest fear is I'll fall. 

I forget all I've been taught. 

Can only feel lost and distraught. 

~ 

With a blink of an eye it disappears. 

A hand reaches across the vast frontiers. 

What once was isn't anymore. 

I, yet again, close the past's painful door. 

~ 

Only love has a healing cure. 

I acknowledge I'll never be completely pure. 

On the wings of a butterfly 

a turtle found a love which won't die. 

~ 

In return I discover 

a once in a lifetime lover. 

They say the world isn't a perfect place. 

I find that a lie in your handsome face. 

~ 

Nothing moves me as much as your words. 

Spoken from a glass heart and never slurred. 

My ultimate truth is found in you. 

An unwavering love, for us, is long overdue. 

~ 

So if you see the anxiety in my eye, 

worried thoughts I can't deny. 

They come, you have to understand, 

from the fear of losing the heart of brilliant man. 

~ 

Beautiful rainbows have been made. 

We've been measured and weighed. 

There is no lack, or fault. 

In a love which can't be brought.
