For You

I’d commit a murder with you Plot a scheme with you Burn a house, hold your hand And run away with you- Cause a public scene with you Get high in the woods off a drug I’ve never heard of, with you Demolish a nation For you Cheat through a card game For you Kiss your hands for good luck Before you roll your dice- For you Get into uncomfortable shoes For you Grow weeds in my backyard For you Take a pie in the face For you Compose a song and probably Play all the chords wrong For you Trace poetry on your bare back and Have a fight with the Sandman Over who could Put you to sleep first- Chase you through the better Hold you through the worst – Listen to your heart like I do Sun-kissed sea shells Kiss you bittersweet By the pavement’s heated concrete- Hand-pick the stars and put them by your bed- Love you till you lose the hairs on your head- Share every secret- Every fear- Share all that is new- For you For you For you.

Ahh, the power of love...blinding us to the point where we believe to see more than ever before. I get this. Excellent lines, Maya.
