sunny day

Taking the moment from your eyes.
Stealing a night in the wondrous heat.
Throwing ourselves off ice cream cliffs,
with the suicide rate as sustenance.

Birthday cakes on a sunny secret day.
Days of eyes and nights of words –
oh endless words!
Weaving webs of high ideals,
in the firm belief
that sharing beds was sharing minds.

Oh take my hand,
and we’ll kiss the stars
and we’ll kiss the skies;
take my hand
and we’ll kiss the stars
on a sunny day.

Here, now, there’s a
place for tenderness.
A stroke of lips
and hidden hints
of a bliss that’s half received.
No heady heights of pedestals,
but your ground is still unsure.
You’re my playmate
and you’re out to play
when you knock upon my door.

Oh take my hand,
and we’ll play the stars
and we’ll play the skies;
take my hand
and we’ll play the stars
on a sunny day.

Oh orange juice
and the taste of toothpaste
– I said I’d eat you,
I said I’d eat you.
Scorching words and solitude
– I said, I said…
I said I loved you
I said I loved you,
so put your pride down
and join this laughter!

Take, take, take…
Months might lend an age
to your eyes,
weeks might lend a chill
to a future memory.
I could be jealous
of your lust for me,
I might not fulfill
your need for me.

So, for now,
take my hand
and we’ll kiss the stars
and we’ll kiss the skies.
Take my hand
and we’ll shoot the stars down,
we’ll shoot the stars down
on a sunny day.
