Brandon
by Beth K HannahTo put you in a box
Describe you
Would be like taking off my fingertips
Just to ease the pain
You have this ability
To walk away from me
To leave me breathless
To make me want to cry
Laugh
And play croquet with you
In the rain
Fleeting as my skin is
Wonderful as your eyes are
It adds up to something I can't count
Can't even touch
Even when I stand on my tip toes
I feel again from my pedestal
I wish to climb down
And dance
But only if you stay here
And now
And time stops
And we are molten butterflies
Playing to the flutes. 07/02/2003 Author's Note: Aye...he is destroying my skin.
