that song i remember
remembrance of a soft lush feeling
the presence of a misty force
vibrance
without violence
without fear
without loss
it is a dance of life
with you
i am gently aware

i am high on emotion
but i don't miss anything

"it's not the pale moon that excites me
that thrills and delights me
it's just the nearness of you
it isn't your sweet conversation
that brings this sensation
it's just the nearness of you"

I think
That was when
I started
To fall
In love
With you

Two primates
Under a misunderstanding
Two primates
Under a cosmic codependence

We understand trees
We want to understand
Each other

That was a night
Of hope

Strange desire
When I think of you

Strange heart glowing
Even when I'm feeling blue

I understand the way you are
Like I understand a star
Not at all
I want you to be far away
Like I want a cloudy day
Not at all

sometimes i feel so courageous
like a young snake full of venom

sometimes i feel so afraid
like an uncaged rabbit

i am convinced that either way
you will step aside
and let me be where i am

trembling with my own
mystery
in my eyes behind my eyes
you and i
golden union

what is flesh if
not the ideal of god
immolation of the mind
anointment of the body

so many ways
to tell each other
so many things to say
so many ways
to see it
one truth
that two bodies feel

I want to know
What connects us
I want to know
What holds us apart
And kiss it
Until it turns
Into rain

I lay here all day
Wishing I could dream of you

Now that it is bedtime
Like a horse
Off too early
My heart races away
