Sunflower Lyrics

Autumn's edge works through the bones

To the whiskers, will redden the nose

To the drying lips that I will kiss you with

Just to remind you that I mentioned my feelings earlier

And you seemed to ignore me

Then you smiled, stared at the moon

Tugged my shirt and feigned ignorance

This chunk of months slowly transports

Me to focus points

Disassembling my relationships, doubling my covers

Sleeping alone

Begs me not to speak, only act

Until you need the comfort of secure maleness

To swallow you up

On your youngest birthday memory

There is of course strength in your distance

And comfort in shroud

And lust in waves

And fear in misstepping with our combined brown eyes

That remind me of every passing

Trusting fall

I feel like it could all reinvent itself

When green turns to blazing

Orange red and purple

The straightness of your hands paints

My backbone to sleep

While the written word is so filling unconscious

They are your words

And whether learn-ed or experienced

Beg to trust

I wake to too cool breezes

With quiet semi sexual moans

And and impending sense of somber

I clearly configure wrinkles which will live

There ages from now

Laugh-lines intuitively defined by my squint

You sudennly reach for hips

As if empowered by the evening's final gust

And I gasp...

Pulling away like a frightened child

From a beautiful sunflower
