Truth As I See It

How could this possibly be a anything fake For that would be true if you were Rod Or Todd Or Harry Or drake ... But no, you seem to arrive at just the right pace Perhaps anyone else it would just be a disgrace Yet you My king I swear it's those lines in your eyes That smile you wear churns my mind and heart awake That brain of yours reaching and stretching pure grace. I watch your arms and hands sway when you speak . Your words trickle of your tongue like the great escape . Making me think before I speak Why do I still try to explain it to you Do you truly see the magic that resides in u? I am so used to it you see Trying to make sense, to articulate my fate I love my ideas, they can truly motivate And I don't need to prove to you I make some killer pancakes Or that I love to decorate Or promise I'll be good to you Because well truth is the truth is the truth You see it's just this way Many people need things Arranged a very specific way In order for them to be and feel ok Like fitting inside squares and ovals or hearts made of cake. So I give them a piece of me My own unique shape Unable to change this way that I communicate. Some say Sarah, You are so rare. I've been waiting so long to see that pretty face You are truly Gods gift to this place. They say share as much as you like, it's fine you are safe. So you see, I will believe anything that you say. Especially when it comes to the music of time and space and heart handshakes . Then 2 weeks later they disappear from plain view. Or I have to say no thanks as the connection I feel just didn't ring true The usual reason is all the sudden, I'm much too deep But not long ago I was A living breathing saint? Could I tone it down? Not talk until 8? Sarah your words give me a nasty headache! I scratch my head as not knowing what to do. That's strange How odd Just recently They said they wanted and loved all the things I do. I believe people, because you see, My intentions are true If I tell you, it's the truth. And no matter how many times I've gotten lies and pretend sighs, I wouldn't let it keep me from knowing What it's like to finally come home to you will you honor and keep me safe? I believe you. I truly do. They were just all preparing me for you. I've made some foolish mistakes. And that's perfectly ok.. I didn't always choose well when it came to real dates. But that's ok we learn and that is what makes life so great. You don't seem to understand Why I keep saying thanks While I fish for the "one right word" That says it all straight And could possibly add up To what it means to truly appreciate All the things you have done Since our very first coffee date. The words I love you can be tattered and worn. Misused and construed only for the the righteous ones. Thinking of themselves rather then the power of US. So I get it.. I do. But I must confess my love Thanks is all I know how to do When i dreamed about you so long And wishing you could be near I have always longed for real ness Honesty and truth anyone can make a castle Out of sand, wood stone and couple of unreliable screws . We pretend it will stay and weather a quake. We truly convince ourselves That its the story that life creates . But we know the difference We worry what our mothers, brothers or fiends think But how can it be love when it shatters and breaks? My dear love can't you see? We have turned a new leaf We can dream any dream we choose When we are awake. And I would also gladly sleep in with you any day of the week. I've been looking into many faces Secretly wishing it was you But I'm afraid I can't stop Writing poems on this canvas That you and I create That you hang in our favorite room by the lake. You are my eternal flame. And if you need me to remind you every day of the week , since 48-36 hours is much to early to speak and you may not believe me anyway, I am more then happy to wait... as long as you need to understand or tp trust why our hearts are in Sync. This was no accident. I wonder if we met a different time Would you look at me with the same Grin I see now on your gorgeous square chin? That smile of yours it is so true It is a celebrated mellow I want to kiss it softly every minute and every hour If I could would you say " ok Sarah , now break. I never want to make you run or suffocate. I want you to soar above the clouds and feel peace at night when you sleep or lie awake. I hope it's my body you take on as part of your embrace. I'll be your greatest queen The one who supports our dreams A woman who isn't weak But could melt like a sweet Bar of fudge on a hot midsummer Orlando street Cause all you gotta do is lean in Show me that strength Please be real... and mean what you say Because I'll keep believing you until my breath becomes weak and it's time to sail away to another far away place...,, So strong you are Like permanent paint Not rusty or dusty But honest and straight Don't have time to dance tango With a temporary mate I want to glide across the dance hall, While our music sets the beat... I want to share in a lifetime of feasts. Do you dare come dream them with me?
