Mushy Thoughts
You put a daisy over my ear,
brushed a stray hair from my eyes
and made me hear a tango
that inspired my feet to dance.
Now I sit around with a rose
clutched between my teeth,
and a fan in my hand
waiting to warm to your words
and feel like
someone's inspiration again.
Mushy thoughts,
sappy songs,
and a wine sweet summer night
I had all but forgotten...
I need to be damned silly,
run barefoot in grass
and ask a firefly
for a gliding lesson.
I need to offload the lead
that keeps my heart on the ground
and let it rise
like a helium balloon.
I need to be kissed for the first time
like I was fragile and precious
and the guy just couldn't believe
that I was flesh...
I need to be silly dammit...
Join me?
