with turquoise eyes
that magnetize
you’ve drawn me to your side
sweet kisses cleanse
like summer rain…
let me walk barefoot
thru the clover of your mind
i caught a bird and held on tight
afraid to let her go
she fled her cage one moonlit night
to a land i’ll never know
with trembling lips
and freedom’s grip
love’s all i can afford
but a true caress
is priceless…
let me boldly climb
the mountain of your soul
i threw a rock into a lake
it spit, then sank so fast
making pretty sweeping ripples
that dance, but never last
with words that rhyme
and a smile that shines
bright as the guiding star
i beckon you
with open arms…
let me swim naked
in the ocean of your heartHouston, Texas ‘82 |
