i pulled my heart out for you...
do you want to know why?
it's the way you look at clouds, that's what.
i really mean you can have it, you can.
for the sake of finding my voice when it disappears,
you are good at knowing where the words go.
do you want to know something?
sometimes I tuck your favors in to my pocket - for later,
...because you ask them of me,
and they have the smell of you
Did I mention I like the way you hold me?
(even though i don't have much practice being held)
i pulled my heart out for you, i did.
because it's all i have left,
and i need someone to keep it
will you?
Keep it?

My friend's husband made her this endearing little love man with a BIG heart figurine (from scrap metal) a few days ago...it inspired me to give the little guy a story, because it seemed like he had one.
ReplyDeletepink moon...gonna get ye horns!
ReplyDeletetruly there is nothing so essential as beauty, and beauty is the last thing anyone can ever really share ABOUT. But i think your finger pointing at the moon of BEAUTY is probably the nicest thing i've stumbled on this week. Reminding me of the core of wonder... the unspeakable... the solitary deep that opens into everyone...eventually.
thanks for doing this. will attach a patti griffin song to an email for you. hope you like. best, aaron zweig
yes how to capture the uncapturable, the ever moving, ever changing? all one can do is try...not to capture so much, as become perhaps, inspire a little, and love it all.
