Nearness

I wish that the needle that
She pierced you with
Was giving you life
Not taking it away

One more day
One more day

Jane says: “When things go wrong,
that’s when something really wonderful
happens.”

Nothing could be more awful
So then nothing could get more beautiful?
All these sounds around tickling
Me, my ears my non existent body
Tearing myself to shreds
Dreaming about how wonderful
Tomorrow will be detached

Pourquoi pas?
Pourquoi pas?

Fetch me a flame
To light a candle for love
Reminding the world of
Waves before red
And blue before sky
Earth after moon
Crescent around angels
Wings before tenacity

I would make more soup for you
A peanut butter cookie
A sandwich for two
Your favorite rotisserie
I dream of all the fish
Swimming all through
Sparkling around you

It’s only the first one day of the year
Just like you only once in a lifetime

Things couldn’t be more wrong
Now something wonderful happens

Wandering

Through the avenues of your heart
Back alley ways of love
I look around to see
If anyone’s coming

Is that you?

I can hear my voice echo when
I call out your name
Down the boulevard
Maybe you’re asleep
Somewhere in between
The street lamps

Walking over the bridge
Of your nose
Wandering
In the hope to leave a trace
Some small particle of me
So that you know

I’m looking for you
So you can follow my scent
A footprint
To find your way
Into the comfortable safe
Space that I’ve made for you

In the home of my heart
There’s a place where you can lay
Curl up into the light
And the warmth behind my eyes
That only shines the way
It does when it’s looking back
At you

I hold a flame in my hand
Down a cobble stone path
Made of rock and clay
A thousand years old
Emotionally paved with
Tears of joy
Days and days
So many thoughts and dreams
We’ve painted

I’ll punch the devil
If he gets in our way
