Beyond the ridge to the left, you asked me what I want
Between the trees and cicadas singing around the pond

.

” I   s p e n t   a n   h o u r   w i t h   y o u ,   s h o u l d   I   w a n t   a n y t h i n g   e l s e ? “

We sail in the smallest boat
Sleep just when the wind is low

Or a bed full of hens Or the ghost of a friend?

.

.
Magazines and paperbacks, the perfect rainy day

The scent of roses and raspberry leaves

Pull the braid from your hair, so it falls down your back
I just passed Spartanburg, cigarettes on the dash

.

Will you wait on the swing, in the front of the house?

or the steps of the porch in a white cotton blouse?

.

Lately she don’t care for a warmer breeze Or shade around the base Of the maple trees

.

Tonight we’re the sea and the salty breeze
The milk from your breast is on my lips
And lovelier words from your mouth to me
When salty my sweat and fingertips

.

I recall the sun in our faces stuck and leaning on graces

.

. . . . .

I’ve a picture of you

On our favorite day

B Y  T H E   S E A S I D E

There’s a bird stealing bread That I brought
out from under our nose

.

.

So I’ll clear the road,

the gravel And the thornbush in your path
That burns a scented oil That I’ll drip into your bath

.

The water’s there to warm you
And the earth is warmer when you laugh

.

And I was greener, greener than the hill where flowers grew and the sun shone still

.

There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window of your honeymoon

S p r i n g   w a s   o n   t h e   m o u n t a i n   w e   c l i m b e d   u p o n

.

Stopped to see how high
And how far we’d gone

.

I said, “Love is waiting
And better days”
She smiled and placed a kiss
On my waiting face
Promise what you will
Something good for me

.

T o n i g h t   w e ‘ r e   t h e   s e a   a n d   t h e   r h y t h m

The waves and the wind and night is black
Tonight we’re the scent of your long black hair
Spread out like your breath across my back

Our hands they seek the end of afternoons
My hands believe and move over you

.

Your hands they move like waves over me
Beneath the moon, tonight, we’re the sea

.

Y o u   p i c k   a   p l a c e   T h a t ‘  s  w h e r e   I’ l l   b e

W e   s i t   o n   t h e   l a w n

And she winks and she yawns
At the sound that the setting sun makes
As it lights up the lake and goes down

.

.

And you ease my troubles with your hands
Like the night puts a calm on the valley
Moved my shaking castle from the sand
When you gave me your soul for to marry
