a song
in our city there are lights that you outshine
and you follow them in double time
making sure that you are both humbled and bright
keeping myriad orange up in the sky
so today is a day
where "i love you" cannot say
enough for the night
which blankets you so tight
in my car i saw you dancing in the road
and your body stirred me with its rhymes
i got out and watched how all your dances glowed
somehow strewn beyond God's four/four time
that song was a song
which kept your pulsings strong
so i only tried
to capture you in sight
in your songs i heard the singing of a love:
one who took the world inside her hands
lifted it so that she kept her head above
all the pacing of her love's demands
this one is the one
who keeps my fingers wrung
around all the sounds
of the strings that you have strung
your face in this place
will keeps it honey-laced
as i only try
to make your love my plight
