Love discover me, touch down into my space
Kiss my face and arrange your self around my shoulders
Love tuck yourself into my pocket
or pluck my cynicism from my brow and bury it in the
mash of grass we would pass
as the hours collected like moss on the porch
Love this is my dare to you…
I dare you to find me
I have been hiding in my own fences
I have cemented my own escape, but now
replay the tape I wish to be captured
I have made a mistake
I was waiting to be great, perhaps you are fond of those who have not quite made it up the attic stairs for facing the mirrors
Always dirty even when they are clear
Perhaps they thought it was too late,
Hear me, You don’t have to flatter me with lies that ride your tongue
Fun is in sharing morsels of breath, everything you have left
until what’s next
to hear your lungs lean over and lull me
I would long to be sleepy just to hear you again
Cradle me in your security, envelope me and challenge me
I have pretended not to notice you,
I have painted myselfwith carelessness , but yet
you are all about me
You are sounding off in my ears
Around me
If I looked I would be surrounded
Other girls have packages, women parcels
boys have stories and men railings they perch on to sell you
but I tell you
I have only me
if that is not enough for you
If that startles you that my gifts are not the external wonderment you seek
Then please be brief with me and your speech that would tangle me in your brier
Quiet the fire beating upon the doors of my heart,
Otherwise delay no longer in finding me,
Decide that you don’t mind me being in your life so closely,
or else leave me to myself
sweetly unlatch your hold, for I delight in the fact of you
as much as the fiction
I wear the idea of you as my attire, no false rendition
And I would need pliers to remove my Hope of you
Hoping to be aquired by you solely, you only
You and I made to be Exactly,
But you won’t know it until you get here
I won’t listen until I hear you
Until I am this close to near you
I won’t be sure until
until you focus your eyes upon me
For this I have exchanged my running for walking
For you I am unlocking my authentic mindings
so maybe when you are riding
one day soon beside me
in between God’s Perfect Timing.
on the way you’ll find me.
