Let me wrap myself in you
like a Saturn ring.
When you move, I’ll dance.
When you breathe, I’ll sing.
Let me wrap myself in you
like a Saturn ring.
When you move, I’ll dance.
When you breathe, I’ll sing.
Did you write
those melodies yourself?
Because I’m tired of a capella poems
and I like the beating of your heart.
I’ve been wondering
what my voice would sound like
laid on your chest.
Maybe we should do a duet.
Leaves on the sidewalk.
They crack as I walk,
I know they must be talking to me.
I know they are warning me.
With each step another one dies,
They’re like stars
turning themselves off.
It hurts every time.
Although I know
They’re no longer alive,
I still believe in their light.
Autumn comes like a thief
in the night.
Slow moves and sharp knives
It knows what it wants.
Undressing trees and blowing candles.
Suddenly Summer is gone.
I take you as my partner.
I promise
To hold, but not to have.
From this day forward,
For better
and for best.
For richer,
And for hopeful.
In sickness
and in happiness.
For as long as
we both shall love.
