arrest this moment
unturned
the very pinnacle when you expressed your
most silent regard
a song out of tune suddenly became I
not just any orchestra could play this
altered haunting melody of mine
yet love can speak in a tangled verse
a giddy gull twas I
to hark your fondness at the heels of a most
sensitive departure's admittance
you posed for me a problem that I could not
deny
you're too far yet too close
I am loved and dismissed in one ponderous
post
so in my own standing I must compose
I have no reply
you are sweetness in great gulps of breath
in a cloak of cleverness skulking by
two ships that pass in the night
I think not really
the situation itself doth protest
more so are we
two 747's making emergency landings
at Heath Row
happy to be back on land again
yet thankful to see an alike face
someone to empathize with and share the hell
of say the hour before
but grateful when the time comes to separate
their space
we are in some strange lovely manner indeed
a cosmic pair
just not one fully recognizable to us
with me making my way here and you teaching all
the physics up all the way over there
our treasures are these words we share
unbeknownst to the bustling world
for you I truly do most care............
