Painting Time

Like to have a friend
Takes time
Like to make love
Takes time
If I could paint
A flower exactly
As you would like to see it
No one would see precisely
What you have shown me
And I see it because
I would depict it
Like the flower that you are
So I tell myself
I will mirror what you show me
What your flower will bestow to me
Painting it enormously
And everyone will be pleased
When they are taking you in
On the walls of a museum
I will make the world
Appreciate what I see in you
Portraying the flower I displayed of you
What I saw when you patiently
Played with me while you laid with me
Who you are even yes
When you tasted me
A painting to remind us of
When we made love

Can You

Can you feel
Time grasping
At you
Slipping away into
I don’t know where
Is there enough
Do you ask yourself
Where it’s all going
Sometimes

Sometimes I do
I think about you
The things I really want to do
Maybe tomorrow
I say before
It all fades away

Am I coming or going
Loving life without knowing
If the moment is now
Waiting too long
Could mean it’s
Slipping somehow
Yet out of the blue
The blurry images
Looking through
My tears
Fighting through
The years
I see you

Sometimes I do
I think about you
The things I really want to do
Maybe tomorrow
I say before
It all fades away

Do you see me
Looking back at you
In just enough time
Before I ask
What time cannot
Tell us
We tell ourselves
Dusting off
All the shelves
Knowing now time is you
Knowing now time is me
The only time
That we have
Is the time that we’ll be
Together
Do I live in your heart
Like you’re living in mine
I don’t want to confuse
Or waste
Any more time

Can you feel
Time grasping
At you
Slipping away into
Us
What could be us
If we just make a move

Sometimes I do
I think about you
The things I really want to do
Maybe tomorrow
I say before
It all fades away
