Cool Wind & Lily

Cool wind and lily
the rain is coming in
we run back into our room
looking a bit silly
wasting the afternoon
and trading poetry
I, my W.B. Yeats
you, your Edgar Allen Poe
soon we're down to smiles
and tickling little toes
cold against my chest
she's pushing me away
laughing, this is my test
this girl is my brand new day

So we lay entwined
the storm playing tambourine
to Joni Mitchell's 'Little Green'
singing, sipping wine
we'd say, let's waste our time
kissing and calling room service
wishing and falling into eachother
no need to feel nervous
no need to feel unsure
we'll take our time at being lovers
be together through the summer
and understand these commitments
come autumn time
understanding what real love meant
come our adult time

For now let's play
like high school kids would
for now let's say,
like young lovers would
we can dare the world
and love eachother every night
all through the night
to the rainbow light in the morning
cool wind and lily scents
through the window in the morning
did we understand what true love meant
after dawn had discovered us
in the bed entwined
and the empty bottle of wine
the skipping turntable
the car keys on the table
cool wind and lily elation
greet the new green day
look and see what's in store
meet the new expectations
of not being a high school kid anymore
for these buds are blossoming
into this sweet spring love
so real, so right, so true
this love

"Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey
