a love song
it all passed in a blur
you, your kaleidoscope of spaghetti straps, blue ribbons, & that lavender skirt.
we vanished into a fairytale of strawberry candy canes and passionate words.
as we laid garnished in a garden of clustered clovers, jaded grass & some dirt.
i gave to you a bouquet of my cluttered aspirations.
you gave to me a matchstick kiss that lit me up in a bittersweet bliss.
so let’s sit & fade & watch felicity firework over the freeway,
let’s sit & fade into a cherry lipstick deep space,
let’s sit & fade into a ricochet romance,
nah, forget sitting, let’s get up & dance.
cuz soon, see, we’ll be looking back on december,
recalling the snowflakes that fell.
but for now, tonight’s our night, a night to remember,
& all that is well.
you got some firsthand delicacy
a spin me dizzy kiss,
a mistletoe blitz,
& a sleeping beauty smile.
you got some frosted felicity,
darling you got dignity,
wouldn’t you stay awhile?
she calls me her rugged romeo,
i call her my jigsaw juliet.
& we live among the stars
that shine upon the abandoned wizard of oz movie set
she’s got that dandelion dip.
she’s got that stardust step.
she’s got them lullaby lips,
that grip my every breath.
she’s got a spiral of spice,
that chases my tongue.
she’s got that twilight rhythm in her kiss,
that leaves my desire stung
so me & my jigsaw juliet,
we collide in a bittersweet blizzard
of snowfall & fairy dust resin.
& hold my hand & let’s slip,
you can be my delicate obsession.
be my delicate obsession
you got some firsthand delicacy
a spin me dizzy kiss,
a mistletoe blitz,
& a sleeping beauty smile.
you got some frosted felicity,
darling you got dignity,
wouldn’t you stay awhile?
she got that boogiedown finesse
that shimmer junkie jive
I’m obsessed
& I feel so alive
she got that midnite funk
she got that swing em high hucklesway
she got that tounge
girl that tounge’s a sucker punch
I can’t let you get away
she got that twelve thirty twinkle
she left the fairytale wrinkled
she got that miniskirt majesty
that I touch down on oh so fragilely
we escape to a feel good fantasia
chimera’s paradise never felt so good loosened & laced up
I’ll be your roundabout romance
you, you be my down the pants dance
but no matter what
we both took a wonderful chance
you got some firsthand delicacy
a spin me dizzy kiss,
a mistletoe blitz,
& a sleeping beauty smile.
you got some frosted felicity,
darling you got dignity,
wouldn’t you stay awhile?
so forgive me for being a junkyard of gibberish.
forgive me & my jitterbug lips of licorice .
so forgive me,
but could i just get drunk off your tongue?
yea, let’s sit & fade & collapse upon the sofa.
let’s sit & fade & watch the horizon splinter the dawn till the daybreak’s over.
let’s sit & fade into a glitter & glamour glade.
nah forget sitting, let’s get up, dance,
& lose ourselves in a moonshine romance
you can be my lucky eight ball prediction.
& i’ll be your broke down ambitions.
so focus on the motion
just fall w/ me into a bed of roses
