After an Afternoon

I bare my windowed self untamed and untrained

Dreams that hardly touch our

complexions truest faults

If room enough for both my

drowsy spirit shall fall

Bold waves tumble oh to the season of my heart

And you have offended my faith and my trust

Until all is lost into the beauty of the day

Until all is lost, until all is lost



But there's something in the way you laugh

And it makes me feel like a child

Aspects of life they confuse me

You and your thesis amuse me

Oh, after and afternoon with you

And your rich brown eyes

Your lips and dark hair

Elbows and exposed knees

tossing toward the ceiling

After an after, after an

after, after an afternoon

After an after, after an afternoon with you



Face to palm

Tear to tear

Mouth to tongue

Heart to ground

Heart to ground

Heart to ground

I am in love
