I have read your desert island book
and now I know
there is a sad place in your heart
where only a dim lantern shines.
Why would you do such a thing
Would you mind if I wasn’t
completely reliable for a day
Not ready to go shopping for groceries
and carry your bags for you
for a day
The sun is setting and i’m driving my car
i’m going to Amsterdam to see some Rembrandt
i’m drivin’ by the girls and the dogs, past the slums
The bullet of love shot me down
stinging fast
bone shattering
its toxicity taking me to hell
warp-nine-flying bumblebee
They say that I’m crazy for loving you still
especially since loving you was unreal
Maybe I am a fool who knows
what is true it was nothing to you
Am I just another old man crying
I was old all my life
I did not age time left me
alone to die a boy
who was born old
or began to be old
You
You feed me mangoes and cherries
With lips sincere you write your name on my chest
We were friends
Did you want me for a lover
I didn’t know it was even possible
and why would you want that anyway
especially since
On the shores of love I roamed forgotten
and stranded
A wild bear hungry
and wounded in solitude
I was blind and you gave me a jewel for sight
You have no power in you
but to enchant
You walk
and as I see you walk I wish
I cherish you like spring’s first blossom
You make eternity sweet
I’ll love you more each day
until infinity erupts with children and fireflies
I take your heart in my body
You tremble like a bird never touched
Your mouth is thirst
your fingers tense on my skin unknown
I take your hand in mine
I love you with the body in my blood
I love you with the thunder in my soul
I want you with the strength of my heart
I scream you from the source of my love
I will take you to see the stars
when the moon is dark and the fireflies are
dancing in the warm night air.
We will sing fairy melodies like
