Seeking An Open Invitation
So how do I get an invitation
should I stand on my head until my ears turn red
will I always be looking in
some other wooing you instead?
I won't promise you the world
but my energy I can provide
enjoy what you will of my body
like the current brings in the ocean's tide
My command of language isn't fluid
Shakespeare doesn't flow easily off my tongue
I can't even remember my own rhymes
no smart non sequiturs will be flung
But I can assure devotion
to the glow of an unforgettable fire
that is given oxygen with your affinity
in bodies' unison it will only go higher
