Falling Slowly

I see the somber morning sunrise in your eyes 

The flicker of warm sunlight dance upon your brow 

Th ocean mist asleep on your lips 

The angelic glow in your masculine skin

I am falling slowly

For you 

Leave the light on 

Draw me a map when I'm lost 

These dreams keep speaking 

An enlightenment of thought 

I am falling slowly 

For you 

Carving words on a tree

Stretch my hand towards the night sky to hold the moon

Much like you

Hanging  in beautiful magnitude but out of touch 

I am falling slowly 

For you 

Jump through my skin like the cool summer air

Whistling leaves sing 

Your name 

Sail off the edge of where the river meets sky 

Find my arms waiting there 

I am falling slowly 

For you
