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

All For You

She lies in bed
Coz she can’t get up
But it ain’t depression
It is love
And the dearth of a need
To move at all
What’s wrong, they say
But it’s a freefall
And there’s open air and space
The old guard gone without a trace
Coz I sigh
This is not goodbye
But a hello to a new realm
And they are all the same
With their witchy ways and locks
But he knows how to make the bed rock
With his sudden sigh
And am I wrong or is he a little shy
Around me
It confounds me
How they could eat up time
And rub a ring until it shine
Like a new pearl
I gave my heart
You gave me the world
