November Saturday
So lay yourself beside me love,
and let's spend these lonely hours as one
Part your sweet lips
and invite me in
I fell my head begin to spin as
slowly, like fresh honey,
I'm sinking into your electric touch
Pull the white sheets
over our drowsy heads
Enjoy this
while we're young
I miss you like the sun
when the light no longer shines
on my eager face
Come sweep me into your embrace;
I am yours, faithfully
Fingertips trace outlines
stronger than memory;
your light, gentle touch
makes me feel like a dream
worth more than joy
I've loved you in your tears,
And I've loved you in your pride
Whether in pain or gain, sunshine or rain,
I cherish you just the same
But just for now,
before this sleepy city stirs,
allow me to whisper aloud
these thoughts that tease my foogy head
Gently I kiss your eyes,
so you may see
through this protective disguise
in which the world hides her bare spirit
Come witness the stars
that tangle in the void
Never have I failed to delight
in their patient wisdom
Walk upon the mountainside
and hear the sounds that hush
over the weathered rocks
All these things evoke wonder
and awe in my mind
But no greater gift I could seek
than the love you give to me
I will hold you forever, and when you leave
I shall wait until you return
You look at me now,
and your eyes burn my heart
with words that can't be expressed
by pen or tongue
Now, we sleep away
this gray November Saturday
and murmur stories into the dark
You and I
and some distant sunrise,
and a bed shared between two...
That is enough for now.
