Poetry

                                                            Music

Let me sing to you

 the melody in my head

 It sounds like the wind chimes

Hung by an open window with moving blinds

Let me dance to the beat of this song

I’ll spin in circles

 Smile turning round

 all night long

Escape with me awhile

Lets waste time next to a calm dark nile

Run til our knees go weak

till our lungs go out

Chasing intoxicating heat.

All we need to move our feet

Keep them in motion

While our strides become neat.

I want to write poetry

 Describing the lines on your face

The expression in your eyes

Watch how your eyebrows rise

With wonder and surprise

I could get lost in those eyes

Lay my ear to your breast

Listen to how the sound of my voice increases your breath

As I talk about fate.

I want to paint

Paint the curve of your lips

How pink they are after we kiss

How powerful they are in this temporary bliss

How I didn’t know at the time

that they’d be ones I always miss.

Lets roam in our own fantasies.

Mold sculptures of our hearts

Then hide them in a bed of leaves.

Lets meditate in a field of grass

Dress in our best clothes

And take photographs.

Pose in our young and fare skin

Snap a moment in time

When our lives were waiting to begin

This is our time

Young and kind

New to the world

Still unharmed by fear of the divine.

No we are invincible from time

Our illustrious smiles

Candy to the eye

Seen even by the blind

Sending radio waves of good intentions and wine.

Our words may never die.

For as they are thought,

Sprouting through my fingers

A Metamorphosis from my brain

They come alive on the page

They are infinite here

They dance to the songs that were written from fear.

Here life is so clear.

Here death barely near.

Here

Is where I have come to love you my dear.

To write of the ways of how loving makes me fear nothing

But losing this feeling.
