melodies

I want a sure thing

Someone to tell me not to worry bout a thing

Because everything is going to be alright

Someone to take it nice and slow

He would be the sweetest thing I’d ever know

And buttah love spread between kisses

All hands, lips, winding hips

no guidance

And when I show him

don’t

he takes no chances

await

My love is violent, too hot to hold

The longing burns deep inside my chest

Like a fire up in my bones

Weary, longing for rest

With my hand laid faintly upon your heart

Beating against my ear as we lie in wait

Hoping time will create

a space for us

A pyre with the past as timber

And loves past as the embers

That rise afloat the very breath of God

Who gathered us like kindling

Perhaps you were the love of another lifetime

Whom my hearts been hard pressed to find

The very thing my soul longs for

I have it all but yet want more.

I haven’t known a love like this

I heard you before you came

Lifted my head like you called my name

sure thing

what if I can’t stay?

what if there was nothing you could say?

because I know where it ends,

even before we could begin.

but I wanted to hold you

have something to cherish

and be held in return

even if it’s only for a turn

maybe with someone who spins the block

just to see what they dropped

and whether or not they’d get clocked

when I say go, you say stop

maybe you are all that I say I am

clothed with a different face?

now you’re the one I wanted then

and I simply can’t pretend

like I showed you myself and all my flaws

and you decided it was your heart you would guard

and that’s OK we do what we can do

i gave you your space, and let it do what it do

maybe what we had was a sure thing

on yesterday’s plane
