Might be... feverish

Must be quiet (shhh!)

Must be able to steal it;

Make sure that you are hard

No matter how hard it is- to be in

Make sure that you are the one who does it

Or the one who says it plain: "Abstain."


It can be said it's true that love has guard

And soars above the blue beyond

And stares below at scattered debris simmering

in veins- in unseen constellations:

Wet eyes in waiting for Southern Skies.


No matter how sad it is I am grateful

No matter how sweet it is

It's true that I cannot (not bite back)

It can't be helped if the way you lose matures

The thorny bush endures and

No matter how lucky you are

You get thorned when you give a ****


Just as well

Maybe a moment ago, maybe just

Might be a nice thing / might be fine

I wish, I wonder

Might be sandy, warm, but oh well

I wonder if it's mine

Maybe no problem, would you mind?

(Would you be nice?)


Might be a fool to be the best / reckless

To not be afraid

Whether the morning sun is up

Whether or not mistakes are made

Whether it is a morning sun

Whether your mind is tingling or afraid

Love shan't be in a hurry

Love may be the best I own

Love may be the best I do

Maybe in a state of mind but- maybe

Not in a hurry but it's okay

Would you mind?

Would you be kind

(And be you

Velvety in disarray?)
