To me, I'll take it
You keep me
On the straight
And narrow
You hold me
On the bends
Your smile and feet
Go fore me always
All the ways to
Land's end

To me, I'll take it
You keep me
On the straight
And narrow
You hold me
On the bends
Your smile and feet
Go fore me always
All the ways to
Land's end

On the turning away
Entering into void
Sideless convex slope
Taking you down
Into space
Ejecting lifeless forms
Breathless pressure
Tender organs
Enveloped in atmosphere
Another world
Return to firmness
Cheek against ground
Gasped as one
Breathing their first
Looking around
Chrystal clear light
Shines all about
Reflections eyes
Smiling down
Speaking softly
Taking my arm
Astounded
Leading by hand
Counting my minutes
Since landing

In silent hours
There is room
For a whisper
Without being
Chided for it
Just saying
What's new?
How you doing?
Thinking of you
Lately
When morning
Shroud of light
Dawns on me
Thoughts compete
With voices
People haze
Trip hop beat
Low voice
Narrator
Never leaves
Like one note
Held on for
Entire sonata
Al fine
A home brew
Thinking through
How best to
Keep it warm
Winter nights
By the fire
Dreaming
Taste of future
Bitter sweet
Taking time
No rush
Ideas ferment
Sugar pills
Slow fizz
Bottle you
Until ready
To taste
No haste
Intoxicating
Steady me
Every morning leaving
On time to the skip
Of my feet
Pulling away cartoon TV
Standing six feet away
Millenia in social decree
Lemon sherbet bomb
Milk shakes
Redskins
Sending my mind in a spin
Looking through me
Invisible
Grimace and grin
Leaving words behind
In the dust
Words never heard before
Something about
Let's be friends
Bubble O Bill
Gaytime
Icy pole
Chasing up and down
Stares worlds unknown
Giggle till your sides
Hurt eyes leaving
Tummy aches
Green chip fries
Tears down cheeks
She makes me laugh
No matter what she says
Somehow if my cool I keep
Sticking around
Can't shake me
Holding my breath while
The big girls
Rate me

Whether awake or asleep
A parallel reality
Woven from memory
Laced with dreams
Evades my spaces
Empty rooms
With music
On repeat
Behind closed eyes
Her face reminds me
Promises only keep
When stored safely
Entertaining
All kinds of things
Foreseeable future
Down by the sea
Takes my willing heart
On much needed holiday
While planting seeds
To grow all around me

Ethical nature
To draw one out
Protect from predators
When they hide
On the inside
Under rocks
Not out open
How easy to mistake
To mimic a threat
For safety
But scare away
Own mate
Funny how I know
When I decide to
Stop chasing
With words
That'll be the day
You turn around
In the heavy silence
Between us
Where only smiles
Are found

Tell her that you love her
If not with words
Any other thing
Without a doubt
Most important
Need to know
Life or death
By an inch
Holding one
Away from cliff
Sudden drop away
To vast ocean
Of loneliness
Tell her simply
For vast open sky
Meets horizon
High and deep
Where love consumes
Our solitude
We float away
To worlds unknown
Forever

All done through the night
Holding on to the next
Wondering aimlessly
Hoping for return
Falling softly
Blossoms surround
Lift my face
Above them all
How to prevent
Idea of you
Growing so tall
Looking into you

Colour your world
Wrap you up
From head to toe
Fingers weaving
From one's soul
Heat flows
Melting snow
With every word
Come undone
Light a candle
Burning only
For one
