Lessons in Tide

my mind is weary that

it has painted every blushing cheek

that I have ever kissed

every pair of lips

I may have dreamt them up

but with each heavy thought

I sink deeper in my flesh

and I'm deep with you

we need a new head rush

a vacation for a daze or two

we'll lay sand at the bedside

and find that each morning's an ocean

and the tide will tell us

how the future doesn't exist

maybe my brain will grow fonder

of what my heart likes
