The Moment’s Promise

He talks to me and it’s so sweet
Cute, the way we meet
At the perfect nexus
Then it becomes a battle of the sexes
And I know he’s leading me on
So, suddenly I’m long gone
Though I’m still there
Answering every questing prayer
I catch every glance
As we surreptitiously dance
Across the ground floor of the building
I don’t even know what we’re willing
Into existence
There is slight resistance
At the edge of the fray
As I realise he thinks of me that way
I feel his consciousness pour
And it’s a feeling I adore
So I look in his eyes
But it’s all disguise
As he just smiles and stares back into his imagination
A moment of hesitation
And I pause
Am I disobeying any laws
When I refuse
To be the purse you wanna use
To fill what you can’t describe
But we’re still young and alive
Is it a secret I ponder
Watching as his mind wander
And my friend next door throws a sharp glance
And I know he’s taking a chance
On all that we could be
But does he know that eternity
Is at his door
And, mercifully, on the same floor
As we ground the energy
I picture him with me
Then he finds another soul
To make him whole
But still, I feel
And this thing feels real
Did you just wanna dance
I look at you sideways and askance
He catches what I deliver
Do you think you could forgive her
For being a little too much
I never tell you I love the touch
Of your hand to mine
When you look at the thread so fine
That has brought you to me
And though it may be infinesimally
Smaller than the sky
I’ll still love you til I die
I had to call
If only to hit your brick wall

Epic Is A Four Letter Word

Why is everything so perfect when you say it
It just sounds like shit from my mouth
Why do you have darkness down to a fine art
It always seems like I’m just trying it out
And why are you so monumental
When I am just shallow in my grave
Why are you a superhero
And I’m the one you didn’t save
If you could tell me that would really be great
Cause I’m trying to live without you
Why does every song ever written
Somehow seem to be about you
And I love you and I hate you
In the cradle you hold your head
Why was I the one to stop the bullet
I took the hit instead
And I am so thin on the ground
Just a scrawny little girl
You need a woman to hold your hand
I’m still living in my own world
That never perforates reality
I have to say I like it like that
You rock and roll your way out of town
Something tells me that you’ll be back

Throwback

I’ll never be the perfect twenty something, I fell too far down the crevice for that
I’ll never be Pru Halliwell with her fresh face and perfect black
But I’m charmed in other ways as I’m sure you know
I can’t move objects with my mind but I can make you go
And you fall so easily at the drop of a hat
All men must die but you live forever and I wasn’t expecting that
You hold time on a string, you’re so very Dr Strange
As you bend reality all will rearrange
And that cloak flip fits the bill as you smack it to and fro
You gaze your resting worried eyes like you are John Snow
Peering into my soul like I am the bottom of a well
Your personal helicon, I’ll be narcissistically yourself
