a poem of love, phased by misdirection but never forgotten |
I took a wrong turn, and it still led back to you I could take one hundred more and expect the same through consequence and happenstance, you're my way back home and i've traveled dozens of highways meandering through each city's streets with your taste lingering upon my lips, I know it so these other lights could never blind what I see in you may my voice branch out across the land tracing the states and crawling past their borders may it find you and sing the most elegant of songs sweet like the taste of sugar sinking into your soul may it ease your tiring troubles, let it do so resting towards a loving slumber may my arms reach out past all others curling around unwanted shoulders may they find you and wrap themselves around you tightly keeping you safe and warm my bones burn fire for you may they rest your quickly beating heart, let them soothe sustaining each ever-lasting touch of love I took a wrong turn, and still it led back to you there's only one home, one destination for my soul I long from a distance, and at times my heart aches but how I love her, I know it so these other lights could never blind what I see in you |
