poison ivy

stay; stay and grab a hammer

it’ll call for long nights but we have

a foundation with strong roots

i can see:

a garden in the back

an office for you

a type writer by the window;

you said you hate the ivy look

but it fits our older soul

and will grow older

if you choose to stay

one spell – two bell

the way we tell it, i found you-

really, you found me;

a wanderer,

and you;

never let me stray,

your eyes found me

deep into my arms

shut off all my alarms

while smiling

file two smile and i’ve been yours

walking that extra mile-

you found me walking nowhere in circles

a dream and two cents

and now its three and a mission

a magician with a spell

and with your permission

i’ll make this the last one

ring the one bell

walking miracle

i watched you

walk away

and walk back

patter around in circles

chasing your tail

digging a hole

burying a bone;

i watched you

give life to a dead body

rising from ashes

a part that was long gone

a part that had given up-

i watched you preform a miracle,

not a spell or a wish

effort and a gift,

service light

force fed-

stuck around to hear your service

blinking light came on

oil check, but was fed your lies

you’ll need to stick around and remove your eyes

change your ears and optional but would reccomend

a heart pump change

for somethng out of your shop;

a discount you swear

this pump will be different you swear

limping from your shop

everything disconnected

and the service light is off

reruns on the plane;

i fell for you

actually

still falling no bottom in sight

i am falling for you

a marathon that gets better and better

a show that is renewed every year

it gets better and better no filler

i record every episode

i like to watch them on my free time

or when i’m not free

and you’ll take me captive

i’ll wake up in my own bed

and i’ll put on reruns

my favorite ode

i ask for this dance;

your hand in mine

the curve of my palm at curve of your waist

we won’t waste the song

either my own or one that is slow-

slow enough so our steps sync with our beat

it is

unique

our beat

drums come

the night

stay; in

our arms

we will

dance till

our hearts

recall

every

note  played;

the song

our song we will humb on the way home

humb in our bed

humb in our dreams
