I didn't know you were waiting
I was in Los Angeles and didn't know you
I came to your city when I was blue
I was alone and waiting for you
Uprooted and flying like a mountain
Ocean mist trailing, I was headed home
Home became a mystery but the miracle was
That my home would be with you
I stopped and my roaming heart stopped too
Had I lost hope? To be blindsided by a truth:
That you had been waiting since before I knew you
That I would love you, that our home would take root
…………………………………………………….
I never want to go anywhere again
but stay along with you
shoulders tucked into folded arms
I never want to see anything again
but gaze at all of you
contours flushed into open eyes
I never want to sleep ever again
but wake awe filled from you
hours joined into constant years
……………….
We should see each other again
Walk
Oscillate when we stop to pause
I need to look at your face, it looks at mine
You reach up to put your hand on my shoulder
I wrap my arms doubly and bend you
We should sit
Turned toward each other
Roll your head from my neck to my chest
We will talk
And the vibrations of our voices
Will pulse in our hands held
it became exactly what was wanted
an eye
slightly tilting
found its apple
gesture
unfolding
into a caress
intrigue realizing sincerity
then astonishment
and quietude
hesitation relaxing
and flipping into passion
the horizon was revealing itself and rolled nearer
