The Next Thing You Know!
manalishi Mar 2017
If I only knew how far you would go
I would’ve followed you everywhere
If I only knew how long you’re going to stay
I would have waited long and longer..
I know you needed me, while-
Vibrant and bold I was drinking life!
I was in need of nothing from no one.
Never thought I’d be needy... someday...
Your extended hand reached me
Long or short-
Whenever or however I needed!
Like they talk on the subject of the cycle-
Going and coming back..
I ended up needing you,
And you were nowhere to be found.
You are nowhere to be found.
And the next thing I know...
You’re here.

That song
manalishi Mar 2017
It's a million dollar song
written in a silver blue ink
every time you sing it
the flower blooms
the bird sings

It's an unusual song
written with patent letters
every time you read
the cloud moves
the rainbow shows up

It's a weird song
with notes and words and crescendo
every time it plays
you could trace your soul
and a solemn ride

I wish I could sing
this pour toujours.

— The End —
