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.
