Nick of Time

With the sweetest voice
Audible by choice
She allures me into her corner
Softly running her fluorescent fingertips through her hair
All I can do is stare
Filled with awe

Helplessly lust for more
Promising peace from the world’s pain
And all the pleasures gain
Free from responsibility and shame
Thin line between here and her
Thoughts of her start to linger
But they rapidly turn bitter
Like citrus fruit from a poisonous orchard
If only he was quicker
Maybe circumstances would differ
Memories of her smile;
Making the goosebumps on his skin blush
Her touch sparks an internal glow
Bright enough to make Orion jealous

A mix of chocolate and vanilla,
You’re my sugar-sweet sin.
A perfect match to me, like the yang to my yin
I’m close enough to trace the stubble on your skin
Another step closer… I’d place a kiss on your skin
But all the thoughts I have, make my head spin
What’s the real emotion you’re hiding behind that grin?
Your uniqueness is confusing
I’m so used to the hurting and bruising
To all the giving and losing

I need your heart for my proper perusing
I do want your love to be mine for the keeping
And back in the day, I’d offer mine as a replacement
Buts still I feel my life breaking and my soul aching
Last time’s insecurities are clawing up from the basement

Thorns in my soul
Sat in my grandfather’s creaking lawn chair
Counting down the moments before we unite
And maybe spend forever and a day

I’ve always trusted my fears to show me the path
Balancing tears and cheers, not an easy math
All that glitters is fool’s gold, I finally understood
At last, a mirror to my feelings, another heart without condition
So many dreams and desires will come to fruition

You promise me the world should I want it
Darling, despair and misery, haunt it
Instead, I’ll be the one thanking you for breaking my fall
Ask me to bind my life to yours and I’ll give you it all
