Sarah
A Poem
oh, you’ve got me hanging by a thread —
every page of thoughts I could have read —
and I’m thinking it’s going to be a long time
with that smile of yours stealing like a crime.
*
oh, your voice climbs from the terrace high
and I’m just painting rainbows in the sky,
hoping you’ll find one and know too well
that I’ve got a secret I’ve been keen to tell.
*
oh, I think you’ve got a lock on me now
as if you’re trying to get me to keep a vow,
and the moon listens as I speak the words
ready to fly off into yonder like uncaged birds.
*
oh, don’t be telling your white lies
that see the sun set and the sun rise
because I know you’re quaking some
as our hearts race in a united thrum.
*
oh, Sarah, don’t be a stranger tonight
just as we’re reaching such a great height,
because you’re breaking my heart in two
and that won’t be fixed by any old glue.
