"say you'll stay
don't come and go like you do
sway my way
yeah i need to know all about you"
bic runga, from "sway"
-
_sway_
you will pass
like a mosaic of stone
that sparkles
calling out to me
as i'm whisked away on an
open air tourist bus
you will pass
like an overheard semi-audible
conversation
about all things silent soft and magnificent
loud and luxurious like the heart's song
that blows in my ear at a stoplight
on my way, late, to work
you will pass like the hand
of my guardian angel
tapping me on the shoulder
telling me "you've learned
all you need to here
time to move along"
you've got fireworks and sand dunes in your eyes
i can taste this
you stand still and solid like a tree
wave sway a little in the summer wind
your quiet is the new loud
voice as eeyore mind as winnie
adorable and adoring as
christopher robin
playful as tigger
granting me time taken
getting to know
without that ego knowing somehow you're adored
you don't abuse
this fragile privilege
your presence
is this
playtime circus
merry go round
love gift

thanks for the compliment... you're quite the lovely lady yourself, you know. my sister even told me that when she was on the phone with my dad after you and i left, she said "she has beautiful creamy chocolate skin"... and you do. something in your demeanor makes one just feel good...
and written the way you can
my thoughts stay in that shell on my shoulders
all jumbled
like gridlocked traffic
