I walked a hundred miles
I even ran for one or two
For the one and only reason
To get back home to you
I waited all four seasons
I timed it to be fair
Then I danced across the dance floor
Like a poor man’s Fred Astaire
They navigated by touch
They could feel their way around
Without the use of sight
Without the use of sound
They tunneled until the brink
Until the earth began to shake
They tunneled with a purpose
This was no mistake
His ears twitch, eyes roll
The wiggle of his nose
Fast asleep
Where dreams roam free
Completely uninhabited
Totally exposed
A warm bed
To sleep in late at night
Rejuvenating energy
Life force burning bright
So rest
Until daylight persists
Then wake up to something
You simply can’t resist
A man could lose his mind
Hanging out with Father Time
Knowing that his day would surely come
But until that very day
He’ll have much more to say
Even if it’s marching to the beat of a different drum
It couldn’t be withheld
I wouldn’t be denied
I asked about her health
But fell deaf, dumb, and blind
What I felt most, was disappointed
That her stars were unaligned
And that her center was a bit askew
Yet, she said she felt just fine
She comes highly recommended
It’s imperative; a must
To explore her in amazement
And feel her tender touch
Love is ever fleeting
There’s no one you can trust
The things we share
Cannot compare
To an evening full of lust
He saw it in a dream
And drew out what he’d seen
To describe it as best as he could
But in order to translate
You must see what he sees
If you were standing right where he stood
