I've taken you out of your box
And you're assuming new shape
Although despite your new vantage point
You're still determined to break
How can I not be bleak
When I'm only slowly rising
Nobody knows the sadness I feel
And that my joy is limited is surprising
When you know that it's quite possible
To assume growth of exponential proportions
When you can navigate your way without
Debilitating, nasty potions
The type we are mostly convinced
It's valuable to stock up on
I hope it won't be long, won't be long,
Before we can pick up just a little of a sweeter song
If the tune is out there, it will find me
If I continue to be out there, I will find it
Let it trickle into my ears, and
We will dance hand in hand
Dance until we can't dance any more
*
There are parts of me so open
That people marvel at the flexibility of my defenses (so elastic)
There are parts of me so closed
That people pass me by (having searched mine eye)
For my part, I conceal and reveal
In ever undulating patterns
It's a crisscross of two rhythms
Fused together for consumption
I don't want to be too mysterious
Or entirely apparent
There's further love to be found
And I hope I'll be around
To discover you loving me
So eccentrically and dutifully
Find me begging you to recognise my royalty
Find me beckoning to you so I can get down on my knees
Round and round
I create steady ripples as I pound the pavement
You're ever elusive, far and near
And your presence is intrusive
Because I can't hold you close and call you dear
And it matters
Oh yes, it counts
Every second beating, exuding, imitating trust (that I can't share with you)
Keep looking and you'll find me
I'll up the ante in my search
Someday our notions of love
So vague and crystalline
Will mesmerise disbelieving others
As you traipse away with me
Our footsteps forming trails serene
Into our shoulders we will grin
Simultaneously disturbing and recreating the peace, poise and passion
Of the passers-by
Time will be eternal
Fly and pass us by
And you're assuming new shape
Although despite your new vantage point
You're still determined to break
How can I not be bleak
When I'm only slowly rising
Nobody knows the sadness I feel
And that my joy is limited is surprising
When you know that it's quite possible
To assume growth of exponential proportions
When you can navigate your way without
Debilitating, nasty potions
The type we are mostly convinced

I hope it won't be long, won't be long,
Before we can pick up just a little of a sweeter song
If the tune is out there, it will find me
If I continue to be out there, I will find it
Let it trickle into my ears, and
We will dance hand in hand
