Even in sadness your verse brings a smile o my face
There is so much loneliness I want to repeal and replace
I see all of you in the ink you spill out in poetry
As in me there is art forming out of necessity
A blood letting to expel the poison sedating a fearful heart
That burns to spread ashes upon a fiery blackheart

For ages we've been close yet our paths never crossed before
Two leaky lifeboats have carried our empty hearts too far from the shore
Adrift up a creek without a paddle is how our lives have seemed
Raise your sails and I will take you places you have dreamed
Letting storm winds alter your course is the most natural thing to do
If Mother Nature made your warm breeze blow, would you pollinate me too?

I want to plant rhymes in your mind that take root in your soul
To make the rain that dampened your heart inspire new life to grow
Let me till the soil that feeds your muse with the pulse flowing deep inside
To make lows slide to highs on our rollercoaster ride
Together our stems entwine to rise up above the cloudy sky
Discovering the Sun was all we needed to get the perfect high
