noon

The stars align our names with the thought of what's forbidden

what is the definition of aching and yearning and desire

and the sky lights up over spots on the earth filled with speeding cars

and loud vibrations

and you and i

and us

and we

with your fingers grasped in mine i swear i could conquer this mess called life

and a mother cradles her newborn baby

and a father guides his son with a wooden bat and glove

and two lovers lie awake just for the thrill of the chemistry in the room

and you look at me

through me

with me

and i'm oh so sure of what i have no idea of

and i'm oh so definite about something i can't even speak about

and i'm oh so set on this possibility we've created

and explored

and attempted

and began

and the clock strikes noon and the bird flies home and the clouds fill up with rain

and the song gently plays and the moonlight dims and the candle burns a flame

and the widow cries and the elderly dies and the heartbreaker accepts the blame

and i love you

and i hope you love me too

and i think you love me too

and i wish you love me too

and you love me.
