This Love Feeling
I walk the maze of the palm of your hand
A teardrop searching for your heart’s thirst
A guitar string aching for the love of a band
And I dry in the hold of your clenched fist
You curl inside my arms in your deep sleep
And I fight Knightly with your nightmares
Your love is my sword’s glittering, piercing tip
We’re at the height of war as dawn nears
Our morning comes to us on opposite edges
Lovers alienated by demons in the night
Angels’ feathers hover above like a pledge
As your bloodshot eyes reach for the light
My fingertips keep you just within reach
And I’m reminded of the deep cutting cracks
Between your smiles I’m trying to breach
As I start to explore your oceans from this creek
I slip into the daylight like white light
Absorbed by your colourful life as you shine
Your lips cover my closed mouth tight
And I delight in the thought of you being mine
