Nonverbal

Tell me i'm not allowed to leave you again
It would do my heart good
To hear those words that seem to stick in your throat
Why not?
I see them clearly in your eyes
Spell them out clearly in the air above us
All neatly spaced and thoughtfully placed
Not that hard
Look, i'll help you
I....
Love...
You....
That's right.
And you can come up with the missing part
I know you can do it
You've proved it to me
I listened to your dreams
Eavesdropped on your thoughts
Or was it that you posted them clearly
In the billboard found easily
In your actions
Or those baby blues that are so eloquent
Laughter bubbles up
To think that you can describe how you feel
In every way but verbally
It's ok.
I've got you.

Scatterbrained.

A gentle breeze that moves me there
And pulls me here
To where it is
The sun and the shine
Hope is resting
In your palm
Sing to me your song
Each note fills my heart
A little bit more
Just a little bit more
But you cannot sing
To save your life
Funny how the little details
Escape my notice
In the crowded days
Brimming
Capable hands hold the orb
That brings such joy
To your face and mine
Dust the fingertips across it
And then trace my cheek
To leave a bit of dust there
To remind me when we lived there
In the land of all those dreams
Ah love
Funny how it all comes back so quickly
