REFLECTIONS ON A SKYLINE
I want to play hide and seek, give you my clothes, tell you I love your shoes, sit on the steps when you take a bath
massage your neck, and kiss your face, and hold your hand ,and go for a walk
not mind when you eat my food
and go to Rudy's and talk about the day
talk about your day
and laugh, laugh at your
your paranoia.
I give you tapes you don't listen to.
Watch great films.
Watch terrible films.
and tell you about the TV program I saw before and not laugh at your jokes.
I want you in the morning
but let you sleep in for a while
tell you how much I love your
your eyes
your lips
your neck
your tits
your ass
sit on the steps smoking till your neighbors come home
sit on the steps smoking until you come home
and worry when you're
late, and be amazed when you're early
I give you sunflowers
and go to your party and dance
be sorry when I'm wrong
and happy...when you forgive me
look at your photos
wish I'd known you forever
hearing your voice
in my ear
feel your skin
on my skin
and get scared when you're angry
I tell you you're gorgeous
and hug you when you're anxious
and hold you when you're hurt
I want you when I smell you
don't want to offend you when I touch you
whimper
when I'm next to you
whimper when i'm not
dribble on your breast
smother you in the night, and get cold when you take the blanket
and hot when you don't
melt when you smile
dissolve when you laugh
but not understand how you think I'm rejecting you
when I'm not rejecting you
and wonder how you can think that
I'm ever rejecting you
and wonder...wonder who you are
but I accept you anyway
and tell you about the tree angel
the enchanted forest boy
who flew across the ocean
because he loved you
I buy you presents you don't want
and take them way again
ask you to marry me
you say no again
but keep on asking because
you think I don't mean it
but I always have from the first time I asked you
I wander the city thinking
it's empty without you
but I want what you want
and think I'm losing myself
but but but
I'll tell you the worst of me
and try
to give you the best of me
because
you don't deserve any less.
answer your questions when I'd rather not
and tell you the truth
when I really don't want to
and try to be honest
because I know you prefer it
you think it's all over
but hang on for just ten more minutes
before you throw me out of your life
forget who I am and let me try and get closer to you
and somehow
somehow
somehow, communicate some of the overwhelming
undying
overpowering
unconditional
all encompassing
heart enriching
mind expanding
ongoing
never ending
love...I have for you.
