Lay my ribs against your lap,
and strum chords on the strings of my heart.
Let the song that comes from your lips be no mishap,
see me behind every word from the time that you start.

Kiss my neck long ways until the keys that tune me,
turn themselves to compliment your song.
Releasing from the sounding hole dreams that should be free,
my skin the fingerboard of skin you run your fingers along.

Play me like your guitar in concert with you,
sing from your heart and watch my purpose shine thru.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not able to be done with just your left or right,
these vibrations that even reach my heel.
Have an instance on being made through the night,
until both of your hands fingering is all that I can feel.

The rhythm tied in place to the timing by the nut,
I am your instrument of destiny awaiting your genius to navigate.
Creating chords with my emotions in sharp cuts,
through the scenes of our memories along the way to the next date.

The body of my work still but a piece of my design,
and these words but a bridge to the tip of the pin.
Me jotting down lyrics as they come in between lines,
rolling along the bridge between what I release and keep within.

Sung to the heavens when laying in your hands,
and played to perfection as though you understand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I'm keepsaking snapshots of notes,
written to the musing of your fingers path.
Bathing my flaws and all in poetic quotes,
sung and played by a master of his craft.

My own anthology of what we worked on together,
volume after volume of peace recorded & played.
Song that's have no end and can be sung forever,
as from the melody of my heart you've never strayed.

From in the protection of your grip,
the most beautiful music does project.
At ease without worry of you letting me slip,
I rest against your chest - yours to protect.

Play me into the night until we meet sunrise,
like a song that ends and begins again with the look in your eyes.

If it's all the same to you baby
do you mind if my energy just lays here
making love to your spirit in the silence
sent bouncing around the room as I
take deep breaths of you into my lungs
only to exhale the joy of finally getting here
to lay in your arms and just be
whatever else the world is doing as it spins
is lost to me and all I can feel is you
so I'm spinning in my own orbit of peace
as a result of your gentle caress
and there any number of truths that I could profess
still I lay silent and still
submitting to your will as I would do
each and every day for you
cause it comes that naturally to me
and I don't need words to know that this is
or what I think it could be
so no this silence doesn't bother me
doesn't bother me at all
because even when your lips are motionless
I can still hear your hearts call
and these days I swear it's been sounding like
it's been calling my name
and it's only when we lay quiet like this
do you seem to notice that mine is also
saying the same...

Even though with my way with words
i could very easily sketch you the
outline to a lifetime
but that just so happens to be my craft
and it's not for the role of inspiration
you could be...I'm trying to make your draft
it's not playing fair if
I take it there
I got game but
I not tryin to play them
but it slips out anyway
when it comes to how I
phrase what I say
especially when I'm writing it
so naw
not gonna write us to you
but tell you what I will do...

I'll be honest bout who I am
what I'm tryin to get out of this
and if you with it than give me your list
ain't nothing that I'm thinkin about
that needs to be written
cause it can't hold any weight
if I can't stand and look you in the eye
and say what I believe to be our fate
the world doesn't deserve to see
what we won't
so of the things I will do
I'll talk to you...
but show it to you first
is on the list of don't's

I won't take you where I want you to be
rather you take me
