If i wrote you a love song

how would you take it

excited and energetic or

sad and sympathetic

would there be new energy

or just awkwardness

have you ever looked at the moon

and wondered if i was looking too

there's so much you keep hidden

it all comes out at night tap dancing

on your mind with sharp metal edges

that accidentally on purpose injure you

mauled by memories

strangled by spoken words

love used for lynching

wielded as weapons

to keep you from recognizing reality

to keep you lost in leers and lure

that you may never know who you are

and what you mean to ember created

to bring an inanimate thing to life

to offer not the world

but my world

not to chase rainbows across the sky

but to ride them to the heavens

not to just watch the sunrise

but to blow kisses to her in her rising

not to just admire the sunset

but to touch her fire before she leaves

not to stand under a starry night

but to fly amongst them asking questions

and hear them answer in chorus

not to gaze at the moon

but to fly rings around him as he smiles

as we ask for a pocketful of sunlight

not to sit by the ocean

but to be carried away on gossamer tides

smoothly slipping between sensory

and sunlit oceans

and moonlit fields

where the heavens wait for us

to look up and whisper our secrets

so that they can keep us safe

it seems like so much

but yet a small offering

so i wonder yet still

if i was brave enough

if i was able

if i could verbalize

if i wrote you a love song

how would you take it?

oh, the fecundity of my musings...
