again not far

by Corey Lockaby

wise like i said,
you know things

just as i can't imagine following you,
(can't imagine but yearn honest)
taking a rain check on current affairs,
and just following you wherever you want to be

and even in that, you find a way to love me
because
i'm a man of short words,
and long actions

your body is a weak frame
because nothing could be strong
around you
soft petals
melt with the rain and show you
even their weakness could be your power

but you won't learn to be gentle
sometimes you can pull all you want
but your bonds are all the tighter

warmth, and the way you drive ahead
you never made me guess, but always
keep me guessing

like a fire you curl up next to
or
your favorite book and a flashlight
it's all so much to bear

(again not far from the tree did this fall)

Author's Note: It shows that this took several sittings, because the flow is a bit interrupted and broken. I'll probably come back and fill it in a bit.
