Life as I know it

I want to break
Like waves all over you
Like porcelain when I'm hurting
And slowly when starlight
Filters through your curtains

The three lines
Beneath your eyes
Have become my stave lines
I'm the music in between them
I become a crescendo
Until you look at me
And then my heartbeats
Are very contentedly a presto

Don't you see baby?
Don't you see darling -
When you thought you were only
Tracing circles on the back of my shoulders
In the hollow of my neck
I took those patterns on my skin
To weave my time and space
Together with yours
And to have the colours
Of my kaleidoscope
Weep into your heart

I'm a fool
I'm a fool for you
Need I put into words
That if you ever decide
To up and leave
You will have taken
All the poetry from my veins
And all the dreams from
Between my fingers.

dance

dance a little darling, won't you?

you don't need the shiny disco lights

or the high tan boots

or even six tequila shots

sometimes you could be dancing

in tandem with the twinkling skyscrapers

and the lights on the sea link

above you

they light up your face

and leave your eyes lit

intermittently

you don't need someone's hand

or another's waist

to dance

just dance

even if it's on your own rug

because the floor is too cold

and your socks are too thin

this time and space

and any other dimensions

you may think of 

are momentary

you might be looking back 

on them in nostalgia

and figure that dusting off

the layers of time and memory

won't paint it in the inky blue

and the hues of red

that you'd want them to look like

so dance a little darling

and make it about yourself

this one time

dance for you

and for your eyes alone
