Curiosity's Bushes
Jennifer Paige©1995
Sometimes
I
just want to crouch in the bushes
With
my curiosity
The
bushes by your window
The
only things separating you world form mine
I
long to huddle there
In
the darkness
Basking
in the glory of you and your candle-lit room
And
the chaotic night symphony which echoes around me
The
light that slips through your blinds
Tell
me to stay
Coax
me into silent song
Sometimes
You
enter the room
Beads
of water clinging to your hair and your body
The
dark sprinkling of hair on your abdomen
Trailing
downward
Ever
downward
Nestling
your glory in the shadows of your room
And
my blood begins a downward spiral
The
night and the light spin on around me
Oh,
memory, stay
Coax
me into visual ecstasy
Some
nights
I
think you feel my presence
With
my curiosity
In
the bushes outside
But
you never let me believe you’ve seen me
Do
you long to let me in?
Into
the light?
To
bask in the glory of you in your satin bed sheets
The
chaotic night symphony candy to our senses
Sharing
the light in our souls
Tell
me to stay
Sing
me your soul song
