To Tell You I'm In Love

Your fingers trace pilgrim pathsOver curves and crevicesOf a desecrated silence.Pioneers less explorers Than missionary martyrsTo allay a pillaged violence.When mirrors can confuse meInto thinking I exist.Your hands can form the promisesOf things I can’t resist.A pinch tells dream from wakingWhen stars seem a bit too closeAnd a sigh tells life from death.I don’t know when I came to beBut you feel a tickle pass my lipsWhile ghosts can’t boast of breath.There are some words My tongue can’t touchBut my eyes and armsCan’t say as much.With my head in your lapI can almost feel your gentle fingersAs they caress my mindAnd maybe if you’re real Then I could be a shadowOf a doubt I’ve left behind.When I’m afraid to be awakeAnd far too scared to sleepThen maybe I can be a petYou’re not ashamed to keep.June 2001, discombobulated...
