A Week of You
One moment is stuck ‘tween my mind and my heart.
Through the plains of the days that would keep us apart,
It wandered with motions unbounded by sight,
For no truth had it found after leaving your light.
Hot frost on your lips in a break from the freeze.
That memory stands still unflung by the breeze
Of a thousand old winters and ancientry’s rime.
That kiss I’ll recall through the vastness of time.
It could be the hour that’s loosing these thoughts
Or the leftover lees of a legion of shots.
But I’ve drunk not a drop, and still shall I warn
That what’s said after midnight maintains in the morn.
So listen with all that you’re willing to give,
For these lines I recite are the lyrics I live.
This chance of enchantment impels me to pray
For an omen from you that could tell me to stay.
