A Love Song… sort of~
This is a love song,
sort of…
About the span of your shoulders
as you lift the beam,
level the window, plaster the seam-
and the roof could fall, darlin’
i would not care,
as long as your kilt
guides my stare.
The wide stride, the length of leg
as you stretch beneath
the willow’s rustling leaves-
and the sky could fall, darlin’
i’d still be here,
as long as that blond
gilts your hair.
If i were the flask that graced against
the curve of your mouth,
i could be, i guess-
the woven plaid that covers your back,
your muscular arms
or even your chest-
And the world could end, darlin’
that would be fine
because all the aforementioned
would surely be mine-
Then this could be a song
about all the above,
more about need, less about love.
