You vs. Off The Cuff

What would it take for time to find you off the cuff?
In some better place – could drive out toward the aqueduct
Stumbling through, charging toward the finer points
To a much better you, and a much better me
And not quite as gone
And now is the time I feel the strong need to tell you how
How right it all feels…
How perfect it is to see you again

Nameless, But A Lover
Fragile goes the lakeside
And fragile goes the moon
Endless on the riverbed
Where we left it all too soon
And I walked you many places
And thought about you in between
You were shaken in the aftermath
In a sleepless kind of sheen
Finally easing off the secrets
And moving with the days
You staggered all your visits
And there was a new warmth in your face
And you said: “Something too familiar
Can sometimes be the bane…
You are nameless, but a lover
And you are completely my terrain.”
