rowboat love....

"he said tonight he was taking me out,
I just didn't know which way.................."

we heard the zenith squeak
as we pushed away from what
we never knew to feel this day
our skin bumped with the oars, clumsy first dance
oh, hollow marble sweet stance, and they're off
candied picture mirrored, speechless,
breathless wind in, breathless wind out
of my jellied hair....nature I am yours, see me
I flashback to 'I got the wind knocked out of me' of rough-
housing days young............

...........and the man before me, yes, this man,
life has knocked this man out of me, this beautifully  
awesome lake, his wild bright eyes....his unique  
awkward passions of fiery........

.......and if only she could forgive me  
of the days lost to grind worlds chores to dust
to hold back the invisible seas of doubts
.......oh, but is it worth to sell the innocence we  
all dreamed as young, to rise a life sworn
and to find only to silence it by making noise looking
for what we dreamed of......................

"We spent the whole time in peaceful silence,
The scenery was beautiful. We both had a nice time."


"Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast"=(The Doors)
