My Very Public, Private Book

You Are Known. You Are Seen.

Beloved, you are seen.
Beloved, you are known.

There are places that you try to hide
From my face but don’t you realize

I’m there in your dark, I’m there in your light
I’m with  you in the day, I’m with you in the night

I see who you are and I call to you me
Come my darling, listen as I sing

Beloved, you are seen.
Beloved, you are known.

You are my love, you are my dream
You are my joy, my everything

You make my heart beat and jump from my chest
Just one look into your eyes and I have to confess

I’ve loved you since the beginning, before you knew my name
Greater was my love when you were filled with shame

When you were covered with dirt and grim, filth and greed
When nothing would satisfy your desires and needs

When even my touch was distorted in your view
When you hated who I was and hated what I knew

You thought being known was that I looked down
From a throne on high, with a white beard and frown

Looking with distaste on who’d you become
Ready to smite you and so you had to run

Away from me, who was evil and far
Which you thought was possible in your little yellow car

But oh my sweetheart, you could never escape
My arms wrapped around you, in a sweet embrace

I’ve held you when you kicked, I’ve held you when you screamed
I’ve held you when fear brought you to your knees

I’ve loved you when you cursed, I’ve loved you when you cried.
I’ve loved you when anger blinded your eyes

I’ve kissed you when you closed your heart to love and good things
I’ve kissed you when you thought no one saw you dancing in the rain

And I’ll never forget the day you first took my hand
When you were tired of running and tired of man

You just wanted something different, something true and real
Even if that meant giving away your heart of steel

To someone like me, who melts away stone

Beloved, you are seen.
Beloved, you are known.

I washed off your hands, I washed off the dirt
I washed away your sins, I washed away the hurt

I clothed you with garments fit for a bride
I adorned your head with flowers and held you to my side

Together we looked into the mirror at my place
“What do you see?” I asked and lifted your face

“I don’t know,” was your meek reply
“I don’t know if this is truth or a beautiful lie”

I spoke to your soul, I spoke to your reflection
I spoke into the heart of this fear of rejection

You are my Beloved, the daughter of the King
You are worthy to wear my ring

You are my equal, the love of my heart
I gave my life so we would never be apart

Come quickly and listen to only what I say
I would never tell you something to lead you astray

There is only one thing I ask, one thing I seek
That you would give all of you to me

You are like an eagle, rising above the deep

Beloved, you are known.
Beloved, you are seen.

You cannot hide, you cannot run away
I’m closer than a breath away

I’m all around you, inside you and between

Beloved, you are known.
Beloved, you are seen.

I only choose you, you are my eternal.
I look at you, my love, you are so beautiful

Come away with me, come to our place
Come to our garden, don’t hesitate

We will move mountains, we will love well
We will travel and speak of our tale

How you ran and how I chased
How you couldn’t resist my embrace

We will tell the world, we will sing our song
And others will soon follow along

Our love is contagious, it fills the air
Until all those around us laugh from their chairs

Love is funny, love is free
Love is a mystery, love is me

Beloved, I love you, I’ve loved you till it hurts
Beloved, keep your eyes open, be alert

There are many who come as lambs in disguise
But they are here to destroy the light in your eyes

Rest on my chest, listen to my voice
Remember always you have a choice

I will never force you to respond to my call
I will never reject you when you fall

I know you, I see you and I love you into me
Beloved, come, I know what you need

Lay back your head, and simply dream
The past, the future and all in between

I have you in my hands, I am all you need

Beloved, you are known.
Beloved, you are seen.

Till the next chapter,
Katya
