Phantom
I’m an endless adventure
A nap in a velvet love sofa
Loving in a huge dark library
Privately owned moans and groans
And no one but books to hear them
I’m a never ending river
Snaking and twisting through valleys
Into the deep Amazon, into a crowded village
Into the scorching desert
I bow my head to the sun
I’m born into time
Different people and places
I dip my toes into the abyss
And dive right in
I’m the sleeping ocean floor
Woken up by my own transience
I make a living, breathing
I shake the deep below to life
I’m a warm cup of tea
On a rainy day, with the one you love
Take him away from home
Set him next to you
Or kiss him goodbye
I’m the rumbling sky
Watch me come down,
Watch me fall asleep on your front porch
I’m a forever in a world of swift endings
Hold me tight, keep me behind your shut eyes
I will never let up
Boy, I will never let you down.
