This is what I should have told you
That I saw my soul twitch across your eyes
That I felt forever in an evening
How you taught me ‘gain to love blue sunrise
I lapped at rain rivers you placed before me
A giving sunset, living warmth
No longer pondered my feet as they ran in my sleep
But held so deeply in night’s wondrous storm
This is how I might have spoke once
Had I grown a body quite like thyme
One that grows as it should, you know
Leaves whispering from time to time
How he might have seen us in a different water
How they may have heard me, good and bad
Told us we might have been saved daughters
Had we felt burnt pages like he had
But I’ll say with you I dream to see it
Hear our eyes and taste our minds
See emotion in color all over
Live in unending loving rhymes
Turn to self and say we love her
Feel her sound in vibrating skin
Learn the flowers are ripe for planting
The skins we pick at to come again
This is how my strength, I will grasp it
The angels' song, in color, to see
At the sounds of moans that eat our thoughts
At the smell of shrieks that teethe one to sleep
As I think too deep in rivers drought so drawn
How my hands will weep at the sight of we
I will love my hands, so taut and so wan
When we becomes no longer me
This is how I want to feel it
The city kisses in our skin so thin
I want to give you a thousand flowers
Never to remember the tins they came in
I want to grow with you a field of flowers
Sleeping softly in your skin
I want to say hello a thousand tomorrows
And weep with smiles as we kiss where we've been
But this is what I will have told you
I’ll lose my eyes in yours across a moor
For there in refuge they’re held in kin
And they’re singing across unclosed doors
A blessing to hold your hands, your thorns, thick and thin
I will have said I love you and more
I’ll love you in all those thorns we’ve had in our skin
And demand them we break for nothing more
