Topic: words waiting for music

too shy to talk
too lazy to make something up
too distant to be intrigued
to wonder at the tales you weaved
too small to realise your height
too dull to glimpse whatever might
have been the dreams that you inspired
to realise the souls you fired
are spinning on way about above
have known what it's like
to be in love

time to kill
a crime
if there is one thing
I'll every know
I'm running
out
of
time

sit and sense the way we touch
inches or miles apart
self contained within our skins
and all the time together

pairing off in twos or clans
friends or not we co-exist
pushing each other off the stage
but huddled close against the weather

let's kid ourselves
quite honestly
let's try this magic
strategically

it might all go wrong
or never quite impact
but a controlled experiment
desire and thought turned into fact
calls, feels,
scares, appeals
and, with time,
attracts

please take command
exert your will
I need some imposition

please make your plans
then implement
with targeted precision

you are in the beginning
before it all began
your are in the ending
when all is undone

can't quite make you out
what's it all about?
don't know, what we don't know

can't quite see ahead
don't understand just what's been said
when will we come or go?

you are in the beginning
before it all began
your are in the ending
when all is undone

feeling like a loosened end
an unwrapped ball of string
wondering when I clambered down
where I misplaced the will to sing

secrets splashed across the screen
naked offering to the crowd
weighed and judged with nothing known
forbidden feelings now so loud

needing things we dare not seek
holding tight to histories
missing times we've never shared
scared to acknowledge fantasies

feeling honoured every time
you make the choice to touch or hold
realise you are the one who calls
you are the one who is in control

it is only when you really need
when you are drinking long and deep
safe enough to move nearby care free
content to rest a while with me

it is only when you need to know
who you are and what you feel
or when the sun is beating warm
you come this far away from harm

there are eyes in the grass
appetites awakening
sense the hunter's presence
are you his for the taking?
