my prince charming calls me from the gas station pay phone
and i say with smiling words
-i'll be right there-
i took the highway and let the wind blow my hair around
let my imagination bite into me with razon teeth.
and you were perfection,
catching my affection.
kiss my smile
and let's squeeze every last drop out of this day.
building concrete monuments
(our own)
sharing cosmic space.
the grass looks like the perfect place for us
[for two soft souls who want to talk & touch.]
so softly kiss, it doesn't strangle
each poetic sound.
carefree and rosy glowing, i'm for you today.
i was put together for your hands.
silk-spun clouds hide the sun's eyes
as we toss & turn together in perfect rhythm
melt into eachother.
you are best when you smile wide & big
when you show me your teeth,
your parted lips, your shiny eyes
your unbridled happiness.
and you are best when you half-smile
when i look at you with my head cocked to one side,
thinking:
-god must be a GENIUS to have thought of making you.-
and you are best when you look at me with sad eyes
pained expression
anticipated tears
and i just want to hold your face beneath my fingers
find your lips with mine
make your heart burst through the seam of your shirt
sprinkling flowers and heart-shaped confetti everywhere.
taste me here and we'll be gone again
be together gone.
and everywhere we go it will be springtime.
and you did just what you said you would do
and at the grocery store, you showed everyone you were mine.
you take care of me-
protect me from what the past has done to me.
you are EVERYTHING for one day
and i feel like more.....
and what can i do but surrender
to this unfamiliar feeling?
i have no mountain to stand on & shout you
i have no glittery gifts to lay in semicircles around your feet
i don't even know how to be good enough for you.
relished JOY like that of a six-year-old
buy me a new face so i can turn you on
kill everything you hate
and only smile wide & big
and kiss me soft & happy.
hold my hands and stand still
so everything will be just right.
i can't wash off this smile that's stained my face
since you were here.
i can't come down from the ceiling
and my body presses me to go higher, higher!
the clouds went away to the coast
so the sun claps her hands at me,
bringing her ruby lips up to a smile-shape
explodes with warm jealousy.
my tiny heart chuckles in amazement
...people stare...
THE WHOLE WORLD IS ENVIOUS
when my prince charming comes to visit.
yes, i like you best when you are mine.
