Pushing

Sifting through a sensation
A feeling of elation
Was not my plan tonight
But some times
A mystery
Can play more than a part
When the heart takes flight

I’m not in love
He knows this
Touch me
Touch you
Never a true sense
Of what you want
So why do you stumble here
Into the parlor where the ladies knelt
And the gentlemen spent their lies?

Every curtain has a moment of clarity
Behind them,
If you care to push them aside
And see the way you ride
Your own dragon

Why chase my dreams
They were exactly as they seemed
In moments of fear
Or moments of hate?

So if I should entwine your memory
Around my needs of light,
Should you break my heart now
So we can end this fight,
Or shall I kneel again for you
Kiss your feet
Beg some love from you.

I quit chasing rainbows long ago
Pots of gold
Are not for poor little girls
So I gather up my empty pearls
Swing them over my head
Like a weapon of choice
And wade
Through the vast expanse
Of hours and rivers of tears
Untold,
I am not unsung of
But I am undone
Within a moment of silence
And a moment of fierce needs,
So speak,
Don’t speak,
We will live
Or we will not
With the violent streak
You say I gave you

We tell lies
You and I
Secrets
Truth
Hidden much too well
Inside your smile

If I ever ran away
I would not hear the beating of your wings
And if I had a chance to grow old
Would you ever know
How I once danced with angels
And rid the wind
But feared the height?
