He blinked
Lifted his eyes to the skies
Cast them down
And jumped ship
So she would save him
She cool waters
Buoyed up hope
Smoothed the rocky shores
And slowed to a walk
So he would catch her
One dreamed this
Called by unspoken voices
Imagined as they were
And Sullivan sailed
So as to prove it
It’s not just the dance
In the darkest alleyways
I want the songs too
Countless days and endless nights I will wait on my front porch swingless though I need it be with you in mind and goal in sight to learn the word you have to tell ‘fore I will lay me down to dream.
How is it so true
The whether doesn’t matter
That I need your touch
To live in the dark shadows
At the soft end of the long, hard day
To lay in the calm
Of the exposed, rocky underside
To linger forever
Tho’ the shoulders beg for home sweet home
To learn, though blinded
To be found in the lost of it all
I can’t
I cannot
Not unless you kiss me first
First I must search your heart
Your heart-filled walk I have watched
Watched for years, I say
Birds nests in our hair
Stardust in our eyes
And the smokiest unison voice
Is all they’ll find
In the morning
I will share on the eternal until ashen
That you know as fact and not rumor
Your care, your voice, your very soul
You
Are not cordially, but most personally invited
And the honor or your presence requested as necessary
Maybe you have a jagged walk whereas I sway
Lumber closer Love and when I catch my breath
Let your arm find its rest ’round me
Now comes the shake
My hands
You asked about
Whence comes the shimmy
Our pulse
We dreamed about
But comes the shutter
My eyes
I feared about
