Secrets Of Life
How could I not be
thinking about it...
The secrets of life
you already know.
The secrets of life
I won't come to discover.
How could I not be
thinking about how
awfully common they are...
no big deals.
Thinking why it seems
so simple from here,
but turning so hard
from over there.
The whispered kisses
in the dead of the night,
the silent wishes
shared and understood.
A contact of the eyes,
a smile...
the sparks in the air.
Reaching out only
not to find them there...
In the morning wondering
over a cup of coffee,
why did it all disappear...
Petals of roses,
silky and smooth...
the thorns, all bloody.
How could I not think
if I'm right,
evading the bruises
but the caresses as well...
or you're better off,
going through
heaven and hell.
