be well

rest your head
softly upon
your pillow
and...............

perhaps you'll think
of me
and the stupid little things i do
when i'm sitting around
with nothing better to do
than be shy

twirling strands
of dark soft hair
'round each fingertip
or playing "footsy"
with myself
as i bite my lip

or maybe you'll think
of the pretty girls
that walk around
in their summer
skirts and
flippity flops

or maybe you'll fall so deeply asleep
and have an all night dream of
a tree
that's taller than you
that could swallow you
whole
with a glance
if it were human

but my stare
could also swallow you whole
but you wouldn't know
cause i can't
even look at you for
a second

without getting blinded
without getting overcome
without your light
swallowing me
first

    ""here if you want me
    listening so close
    from far away
    memorizing what you told me
    like a foreigner
    on holiday smiling at confusion
    filling in the cracks, before you sleep
    dancing on the highway
    the broken line that leads from you to me
    i'll be at my station all night
    with my jack and my flashlight

    still here if you want me
    look at what i can do
    with empty time
    lost love and words that haunt me
    isn't this flat wrong
    to sound so sublime
    one strike In the mural
    planting it to place
    like someone's kiss
    dead calm
    on the tranquil
    see between you and me
    well that's all that is but
    i'm here if you want me my love
    dancing on the highway

    your sun still in my sky
    oh my oh my

    The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

    I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.
