one of those nights...

The Whistle That Wakes You

shes the harpy of the sea
so i said "lets play fantasy"
we'll always have real life
find yourself asleep tonight

forget
that your beauty is a muzzle for my mind
forget
that I talk like a scatterbrained mime
and the body language follows
in stuttered shivers

so thirsty is the pier
that reaches into the ocean
so noisy is the sea
when shells orchestrate in rhyme
oh how beautiful it can be
when this beach becomes a theater that shines

keep the moon in the rafters
keep us wrapped together for hours
talk about the waves waving goodbye
or how the sand makes seating with time
and the weather always
changes its mind
ill kiss you twice
save the feelings you set aside
for a kettle you couldn't keep warm
or the tea you forgot about and burned
ill be the whistle that wakes you
when you heart is boiling
save those feelings inside you
we can express them in the morning.
