poetry fails

listen to the mp3

your voice sways the curtains
soft as a breeze
so long since i’ve felt this
i miss you

poetry fails
words grind against
feelings i hide
i love you
and i don’t care
as long as you
as long as you
don’t leave.

intimacy

listen to the mp3

intimacy the magic and the fury
of being for you what you are for me
i want to discover, till i can’t remember…
what it was like to have to wonder

your skin, fragile under sunlight
my lips against the sensative spots
the heat of closeness, we stare…
i trace lines through your hair

hands against you
words wait by the bed
what we’re making
can’t be said

shadows squeezed out by our light
making eternal this trembling night
and i close my eyes to hear you try
to feel the full effect of a heavy sigh

and then you laugh
and there we lie
and i never say
goodbye

half a mind

listen to the mp3

guy meets girl and doesn’t stand a chance
i’ve sung this song, i’ve done this dance
where i stumble on the edge of hope and fantasy
and fall on reality eventually

but you’re almost enough that i believe
dreams come true and rabbits come from sleeves
and if you don’t know how amazing you are
i’ve half a mind to tell you

listen to the mp3
there you sit grinning like a schoolgirl in her chair
blowing bubbles but you didn’t bring enough to share
and all i want to do is mess up your pretty hair
i wish i could do anything but stare

you make me laugh so much i start to choke
but i think i’m just part of your big joke
i carved a heart in a big shady oak
to replace the one i had that broke

so smirk and tease and drop your jaw
i’ll dance for you until i fall
and then just ask and i will crawl
you’re worth the risk to lose it all

tuck your hair behind your ear
i’ll whisper words you will not hear
and eventually you’ll disappear
but for now i’m glad you’re here

naive

listen to the mp3

i’m only naive
that’s what i thought you’d say
i don’t know the truth
so you explain it all away

but i think you’re too special
never let them say you’re plain
don’t buy love with lying down
pleasure only shadows pain

wrap yourself in promises
a gift for someone true
and wait for love to lead him
hopelessly fallen for you
