How could it be that I am here? Fond of skylines, and wrinkled leaves Another day like this, not so very long ago A smile came across my lips at every sound you made The truth? That I have never been so sentimental Yet I can trace the sparkle in your eyes from any destination And something says that I have held the best of records Leaning into what has been part dream, part magic You cannot hide the tension in your body My senses tap the tunes on currents only I can hear And you… You have heard it too A thready pulse of courage at the edges of desire Though you cringe to keep away the fire And even you cannot understand We were sent to be together…walking farther Sport in heather fair, you hide and seek I tried to peek, and found my eyes were blessed Seeing only golden shadows, less the rest And I knew that I was taken And I see my courage shaken when you go Yet my skin still shines the buff of times We touched And if I traced each contact point Within my dreams to be conjoint Your full form would glow upon me Except your smile… For that resides within Copyright Kkh 12/08/03 |
