What you said last night

You pay attention to the cracks in the crevasse, 

to the intention in the innuendo,
and the song in the silence.You wait for the twill in the twilight 

the erotic sense of night time
clocks in
-
as the smoke rolls,
another long pull on the pipe
and the smoke flows
shrouding your face
as the storm grows,

are we biting off

more than we can chew
or are we just fools…
daring to dream another dream
than the ones life chose,

waking up as it seems
we’ve been asleep to

Each other’s presence
until we collided,

Like stars you said,
the magic ignited

A spark in me and you

And a flame was lit

The truth shone

Although not perfect,
We fit perfectly.

For I saw the God in you.
As you saw the God in me.

I can’t help how I feel

And you’re so helpless in it too.

You ask me what’s been on my mind,

And for the past two weeks, it’s been you.

I keep thinking back on last night,

Will it ever happen again?

Do you want me to be next to you?

Can we ever be just friends?

I can sincerely try my best

I’ll promise you that much.

But in the back of my head,

There’s always be an iota of lust

For that one little moment

Where if we could we would’ve

But you know it can’t be you

Because you know I’m keeping it safe,

For a man who’ll love me the way I need

Behold my rightful place.

I’m the shadow in your periphery,

A little bird, I am your friend.

I’m the name you call in your soliloquy

I’m the thirst you never quench.

Cloaked in bad timing,

I’ll stay faithful

Until the end.

But I’ll be living
while I’m waiting for you

If you ever come

To claim what’s left.
