The Now of Things

If I leave love on the answering machine
and love leaves a comment
Turn the lights down and stop the lights from feeling so much

This is our moment extraordinary
Love is all we know, that love is just looking at me
All is more to more to me than I too dare adore you,
Leave the comment for me with love and so
Watch it eat our laughter as it sweeps my access

I leave love and it inches down scales and pumps me
We have even scores on our bingo cards
It measures like a good joke
Isn’t funny how we know each other now

A hurricane for a companion, this love
Wrestling with our bodies
Our good nature
To exist in peoples brain
I have tried to un -lower myself
Do you know what I mean

Do you desperately come easy like
The way candy and roses holds a girls heart
Help! do you feel - cross like
When your clothes feel like the felt of your hair
Whether you would know the feeling or not
Too long too short
Wavy or curly
As I look through my right eye and see you

It’s the way you release into my answers
A little more to learn
A little more to be strength
I would kill just to have you in my brain flow
I’m not stronger than you
I’m not harder than you
Before we leave our moods we will swing with each other

Does it seem cruel to never draw lines?
