Poetry: Pay attention
Pay attention to my intention
When I walk with you time stops
Side-walk slide backwards our steps
Are movements in slow motion
Slow in the ocean, blue waves
Had me in a haze
A maze crazy
Fashioned from our engagements
Worlds circling around the sun
I am in your orbit so don’t take the shortcut
Through my heart let’s take the long walk
As we talk about metaphysical subjects
That we know none the less abstract
When we converse speaking in tongues of love
What’s being said in idioms has originated
In a land
A place that time has sought
And just as quickly forgot
Don’t look in to the brown round of my windows
They will speak the truth even when I am insincere
Word of untruth falling from my lips you hear
Benign foreign even to my heart I am lying deceitfully
To you my dear
When you seek the truth look behind the display
In the store window, look beyond the clothes I wear
Let your senses fly past the scent on my neck
Or the curve of my hip, and the skip in my walk
When I slip behind you
To fall in step-In line
I am not a new woman
Pay attention to my intention
I am your woman
Heart body and mind
Also in my soul
Did I forget to mention
