Down to the sound

Kisses that linger for hours,
Too hot for covers,
Or windows to be closed.
The garden noises penetrate the slumber,
Without jolting either of us.
It’s like there’s a halo or a ring of fire,
We’re not considering beyond.
Everything that’s magical enough,
Is in here with us.
The sunshine being taken by a downpour,
Surely would suit me down to the sound.
The beam of light that sweeps across your pillow,
Flickers through the leaves.

Melancholy man

Some people say that I'm a melancholy man 
When all is said and done 
It's just the way I am 
The sun is blazing as I wander into town 
A long grey overcoat which trails along the ground 
And when I'm walking past the children in the park 
They stop their games, they shout my name 
And run behind my back
If only they could see how happy I can be 
But sometimes they must look away 
Or so it seems to me I think
I'll always be a melancholy man 
I know when all is said and done
It's just the way I am 
But if you have the time 
Please listen while you can 
Does anybody understand? 
I'll always be a melancholy man 
The sky is blue today 
Here in your nowhere land 
And how are you today, my melancholy man? 
You saw us looking through a window of a bus 
We smiled at you but you didn't smile at us 
And when you're old and grey 
Your days are at an end 
You'll wish that you had somone who 
You couls call a friend 
Yet only I can see how happy you can be 
Oh sometimes they must look away 
Or so it seems to me
I think I'll always be a melancholy man 
I know when all is said and done
It's just the way I am 
But if you have the time 
Please listen while you can
Does anybody understand?
I'll always be a melancholy man 
When all is said and done, my melancholy man 
The sky is blue today, my melancholy man 
And when no hope was left in sight 
On that starry starry night 
You took your life as lovers often do 
But I could have told you, Vincent 
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
As beautiful as you, my melancholy man

The infant kiss

I say good night-night
I tuck him in tight.
But things are not right.
What is this? An infant kiss
That sends my body tingling?
I've never fallen for
A little boy before.
No control.
Just a kid and just at school.
Back home they'd call me dirty.
His little hand is on my heart.
He's got me where it hurts me.
Knock, knock. Who's there in this baby?
You know how to work me.
All my barriers are going.
It's starting to show.
Let go. Let go. Let go.
I cannot sit and let
Something happen I'll regret.
Ooh, he scares me!
There's a man behind those eyes.
I catch him when I'm bending.
Ooh, how he frightens me
When they whisper privately.
("Don't Let Go!")
Windy-wailey blows me.
Words of caress on their lips
That speak of adult love.
I want to smack but I hold back.
I only want to touch.
But I must stay and find a way
To stop before it gets too much!
All my barriers are going.
It's starting to show.
Let go. Let go. Let go.
(Don't let go!)
