In Sign Language

In sign language, with your hands, tell me to sleep to close off the world and its burden to keep to blow my anxiety through bubble wands soapy and pillow my tears with agreeable dreams In sign language, with your hands, tell me I'm beautiful I sweep through the room with a grace that comes naturally I look like the vision of all that you love Your heart matches mine, in it's rhythm, it seems In sign language, with your hands, tell me you wonder You open all windows at the moment of thunder You live on the edge of the seat of your dreams and walk as the wisest ones walk In sign language, with your hands, tell me you're mine while we break all the clocks and swell oceans with time while the tides all turn backward and threaten to stop in a whisper of hands we engagingly talk In sign language, with your kiss, hold me, my soul drown out the quiet with this moment we stole Drown out the torture of my voice in my mind Kiss me and wake up my senses, for in sign language, I've got no defenses...
