On Kathy, again

It was reality mocking me about how I’d tried to see
it was gaining while giving it all away.
it was all the love I could want for free
and all I had to do was let it be.

Sadly, I’d thought we’d never be more
but when I settled for what was left
I found the Madonna there in your eyes
I found your loving touch to mine so wise

Electric skin, our eyes turned in,
the soft light pressing’ me and then
you smiled at me and we were gone again
and time’s small edges frayed away
gain pressing’ me and then
you smiled at me and we were gone again
and time’s small edge our bodies wind and climb
seeking all that words can’t say
..I know you know…you know I know…

that I can have your love and let you go is fine
I’m going to try and do it every time.
