In Step

When I am on the edge of down
I look towards you to hold the line.
It never fails, you always are
the need that shows a trust of mind.
*~~*
I've never walked your shoes before
and mine are rather small
But each time that I make that step
you're in my paces, all.

I'd let you trace my whereabouts
and step my in-betweens
those movements, thoughts and words of rhyme
are all within your means.

I walk them towards you, distance free
positioned, set in place
To reach up to the tall of you and
arms to interlace.
*~~*
And on my toes, these shoes must bend
those lips of yours to kiss just right.
And if I wait just long enough
they seal my fate, to dream each night.


M

the steps, matched in cadence
two soldiers whose hearts are flounced in rhythm
never too large to be filled by others
shoes and their steps towards another
are wonder paths
meant to be walked

beautifully constructed, Maur
and chock full of meaning
and
yearning *s*
