A Better Place To Be (poem)

The only sound I hear

Is the beat of our hearts

As we come together, you and I

Deaf and blind to the outside world

Going on in the streets

Below our window

There's a war going on outside there

And the battle's raging all around

Everyone's fighting for their sanity

Theri money, their pride, their love

We're all out after security

Survival is the name of the game

You say you want to know me

But ask yourself if you really do

If you want to love me

Take my hand

And we'll surrender ourselves to each other

And escape from this free-fire zone

Leave your defenses in no-man's land

Love is more than a DMZ*

There's no tomorrow to wait for

This is all there is

Let's make it count

I pull you close, we feel the heat

And we know there's no return

Utopia is nowhere

But we can make it happen

Anything's possible

If we try

Lost in the rapture of our passion

We lock-on to each's other's eyes

bound by the fire of mutual need

Two souls in a big world

Separate yet one

Feeling the joy of simply being

Looking into your eyes I see

A part of myself looking at you

Inside of me

I am and You are

And Life just is

And that's all it needs to be

As the world comes back now

With its cars and neon signs

We bask in the warmth of the afterglow

Lying in each other's arms

I feel your breath on my body

And the only sound I hear

Is the beat of our hearts

In the quiet and peaceful calm
