Let Me Bend Your Ear

I mean...I wrote this for you.

I spit my wares into the hallway of a million eyes

Expecting studied, knowing glances

Waiting, needing justification for putting pen to paper

Eating my words, breathing my experiences, killing my desire

Images for you are weeded out from documentary length rambling

And perch among your thoughts, blending context and reality

“I’ve been there,” you shout, the echo reverberates in my heart

The pieces of my mind clatter to the shiny ceramic tile floor

I peek from behind my shield to see if you are true

You devour my intentions with ravenous introspection

Keeping for your heart, the candy of your choice

The syrupy sweetness tempts the tongue, texture to die for

Eat my words, if you will

Meet my eyes, if you will

Clench my heart in your trembling hands

Cradle my thoughts like a newborn puppy

Let me bend your ear

There is a music that flows through your words. Sometimes it is tender, the eyes gently watching, sometimes it becomes sensual and sweet, in the deep longing. Then there is a fierce song that roars like waves over the heart. Simply amazing... always.
