Wings on Her Feet

The girl I love,
wings on her feet,
flies across the sky,
blur in the camera eye
to secure the deposit of her soul complete
and fill the empty boxes in me
the dust fills the caverns of a sigh
adoration almost run dry
in her heart
a 4th of July firecracker place to start
set this town aflame
the pulse quickens
as I hear her call my name

This darkness door
it swings both ways
neon says open all nite
the only light in sight
an oasis of hopes that's seen better days
formed by a wounded phrase
dried lips parted but still together
trying to never say never
to try for love
ready myself for the day of the dove
come flying, pretty bird
the plot thickens
and I hear her say the word

This girl, this girl
that I love
with wings on her feet
this girl I will always follow
I will always take the heat
as she cases the sky blue eye
for a withering boy too shy
to light the lanterns deep inside his soul
a magical property or just a magnetic pull
either way she's the only entity
wanting to be
beside me here tonight

And the girl I love,
wings on her feet,
take me beyond myself
dusts off a cozy shelf
to find a home in her and become complete

And tonight, together we'll set this town aflame
the pulse quickens
the plot thickens
as I hear her call my name


"Heaven is paved with broken glass,
since your hammer struck my heart" -XTC

You express the longing for love so beautifully.

So nice to read you this morning, as always.
