Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

I need you to wrap me up, hold me close, breathe into my ear until i feel safe enough to speak the words hiding here behind these sleepy eyes of mine...

If i could make one wish
I would close my eyes
Blow out the candle
And hide behind the smoke with you
Whispering silent conversations
About Coltrain because i know what he means to you
And Hurston because you know what she does to me
And Coehlo because his words will allow us to rediscover ourselves together
And I would be close to you, like this
For every moment we can spare
Creating a space where intellect meets humor
And you can sit on your side of the couch
And i can sit on mine
Soft instruments strumming in the background
Blocking out anything that could distract us from our world
And You will be wrapped up in your pages of our history
I will be consumed with the story of our love
And our feet will meet in the middle
Bringing forth reality that our paths were meant to cross
We would lay there
Nestled on our opposite sides of the couch
dazzled by the words that float between your hands and mine
And as your voice would speak
Carefully revealing the contents of your mind
Etching out my smile
Making me want to lie around and lazily soak my feet in the pool of your thoughts because they take me there
And I will begin to feel warm with you
Believing the notion
That we could be together
Friendship intertwined
Eyes locked
Minds combined
Creating more for us to explore
together
Until the smoke clears
And our world becomes visible
To the dreamers and thinkers who can taste the sweetness of this vibe between me and you
It is clear
Warm to the touch
Sweet to the touch
Soft going down
Leaving them hungry for more
Yes
If i had one wish
I would not have to watch the flame dance and think

I would close my eyes
Blow out this candle
And hide behind the smoke with you.
