Description
I want to write you music that sounds like red pigment being thrown to the riverAt the edge of your collapse
You will find serenity
I hope
I want to give you a kiss
That feels like
Powdered snow
Being tossed to the air
With careless hands
I do not understand you
I have not shared your life
Your best experiences
Are foreign mountains to me
That I can not seem to climb
I hope you will forgive me
And if you do I will give you time
I will never be as great as others that have come before
I can create nothing of beauty
Thus I will never be beautiful
But while on your travels
While you make footprints I can never follow
I wish you would spare a thought for me
And toss it carelessly to the wind
Off the tallest cliff
So it may make its way back to me
Or I could pretend
To catch the thought with my mind
Imagine
That when I wonder what you are doing
Where you have gone
What your eyes have seen
That you are wondering
The same
But you my love
Are filled with wanderlust
It would be no surprise
If your bones and heart
Had no room for me
Myself, with my jellybones
I have nothing to offer you
But the love of a talentless dreamer
My dreams would not get you far
But they are filled with you
Like a bowl filled with crystal light
Like my mind filled with your image
I wish that by looking into your eyes
They would as two pools
Reflect what you have seen
And I would see what you have seen
I believe I would weep
At taking in all that beauty
And realizing
There was no such thing
In me
I am empty
Yet sometimes
I am filled with a desire born of love
To take you to the stars
And hold your hand as we lay in the night sky
