Sweet and sour

Had a dream of you last night
may be cause I wanted to
see us finally together
casting out the black and blue

saw us staring at each other
in the heat of melting glass
holding hands so tight together
singing rhymes that never last

in your arms I am in heaven
in your eyes I sail in love
in your heart I rest for ever
I’m your candle you’re my dove

had a dream the other day
or it was a state of fact?
I was crawling at your doorstep
pleading you to pick me up

lacking you I burn my fuel
in a trip that makes no sense
all that’s left for me to do now
weeping for a future tense

in your arms I am in heaven
in your eyes I sail in love
in your heart I rest for ever
you’re my candle I’m your dove.

The only way

Excuses I can find a bunch
like lilies to place in your lap
and tell you stories

to take your hands in mine
and kiss your fingers

to turn your glance of disbelief
into a creek of tears

but I won’t

I won’t cause I respect you
I cherish you as a person

I put my selfishness aside
and ask you to do the same

for it’s the only way…
