first to the tower

the sun reflects
illuminating your petrified face
the years made sure
and this wayfarer stares
one day years ago
but fast in this heart
the way you looked that day

flirting through the stay
all the time that could be spent
spying you from vantages
secret moments
no one knew

how is it
after all your years
and the few fallen
on this young crown
that your solid form
should still illicit such
feeling
stirring deep

and these words
spilled before the masses
will never make one stir
as the breath taken
caught at your sight
and then lost
forever a gift to the unknown
waiting until we lay eye on each other again

Only You

oh the glory
seeing new moon
again
waking from a long dream
days asleep
days away from you
days and nights

slowly
slowly you lift my head
slowly you open my eyes
slowly you teach me to speak
say the words laid on my heart

the words you created me for
the love you created me for

wading around in the life you created
wading around in ecstasy

wading around in you
you
only you
