Shimmer

For the sake of loving you true,
I will shake this weather into shape
I will take flight through your gilded gate
in the name of your sun and my moon
I will melt your frozen December into shining June.

Take out the needle cold
fill up your honey in my soul
see all there is to see
in layers of meaning and beauty
all the color in the slightest glance
lay down your cards and take a chance
this is the moment I've been sculpting to be
shimmering in the air and submerged in your seven seas

For the first time lonely is here
but I will fumble into the light
I will stumble out of the darkest night
in the name of your star-filled sphere
I will handle this load coming down 'til the end of fear

Take out the stabbing night
fill up all this wonder just right
know all there is to know
in hues of this stunning afterglow
all the world is a glint in your eye
jump up and say everything in a sigh
this is the momentum I've been looking for
shimmering in this destiny knocking on my heart's door

Dreams...they're only sketches of my mind
printed in bold strokes of imagination
love...it's only a mental block that shines
firing up the engines of my elation
shimmer in shades of blue and black,
an adoration that I will never take back,
for you, my dear
for the first time happiness is here

For the sake of loving you true,
I will....oh yes I will
shake this body into shape
soar proudly through your gilded gates
and in the holy name of your sun and my moon
I will inch a little closer and bask in the warmth of you.

Oh I will, yes I will
shimmer for you
like a perfect star straight out of the blue.

"Negotiations & love songs are often mistaken for one and the same."--Paul Simon
