Def Poetry #21

so show me your shoulder blades

and i'll show you my sign

that i left propped up against your walls

i heard it fall in the night but thats okay

cause i just woke up and smiled

her heart, i hear, can be heard from her head

and i hear her heart in mine

and i hear her veins, rather the cells

moving through

and i silently sigh

and i silently smile.

for after awhile i notice we're both awake

but more important we're both alive

and you can call me silly but this feels real.

something like that- yea.

something like that.

so show me my place on your bedside table

and i'll show you yours on mine

i leave you propped up against my chest

and i feel you fall and rise in the night but thats okay

cause i just wake up and smile.

her mind, mayhaps, materializes marvels

and i marvel at the magnificence therein

and I hear her soul, yes her soul

moving through

and I silently listen

and I silently smile

for after awhile I notice mine moving too

but more important we're both alive

and you can call me silly but

this feels awfully real.

something like that.

yeah, something an awful lot like that.

so show me a reason to say im sorry

and ill show you that i'm not for pulling you closer

i'm not sure how exactly to phrase

or convey the way that I mean

but it's something like that.

i think if its not already it's only a matter of time yeah,

something an awful lot like that.
