To YOU

My hands are in yours at the bottom of the sea if I fall down keep them warm for me. My eyes cast down on your smile hold my stare if only for a while ❤️ Watch our feelings rain on us, like the dead of winter Falls heavy beside us like tall pine timber. We hold Are hands up like we’re trying to catch, intricate little falling ash. It burns inside from one little look The look and your smirk Like my favorite book. The words come out as little bubbles-they pop in my head The ash falls around us as my love spreads The snow grows deep as, we make a snow castle My eyes follow yours mile after mile. We breathe as one if only for a while You guard the gates of our own little place When you return I travel along the lines of your face We hide away from a darkened sky My heart learns to trust as you stand by. We fly around each other in the wind Dancing souls from our toes to the freckles of our skin. My hands are in yours at the bottom of the sea if I fall down keep them warm for me. My eyes cast down on your smile hold my stare if only for a while ❤️ I look at you like a smiling child The butterflies flap in my stomach, makes me go wild Please don’t let our little hole go I don’t want someone to destroy the flowers that we grow You are the gate keeper who looks at me You are the one with the skeleton key. Unlock all the places that I don’t show to the sun Leave the cages open As I watch my castle walls come undone Sit and stare at the stars that are made From the fire deep inside watch the colors cascade Like enormous clouds or puffs of smoke The warmth from me as you stroke The chords of your banjo the song about hope. You call my name and I run into you Like the waves to the shore, an ocean deep blue. I hope someday you take my hand and feel the truth. That deep inside the fires that roar Keeps me running in circles looking for more I swim from the bottom my hands stay warm. I look back but don’t want to wave For fear that you’ll just swim away Oh dear god don’t let me be Just catch each flake on your tongue slowly.
