Stepstool

by chris-thomasrf

Sing me a dream set to music Light the kerosene lamps and sit next to me Tell me tales and yarns of your choosing Especially the ones that are make-believe Hand me the rest of the wine Set your feet on the stepstool of my heart I don't care if you cry or laugh here Sometimes, I can't tell the two apart Watch the fireflies blink from the open field Close the heavy book of your expectations I'll never fall asleep if you never leave And we can sketch our own constellations Tell me that I just mean _something_ And I will mean it for the rest of my days Maybe once tonight I can make you smile So I'll finally learn what it is to be amazed
