a day, a night

i see your green eyes looking sad
i know today your day was bad
the victims, crime, too close to home
crying loved ones on the phone
you grin and bear it
you always do
i am so
proud of you...worried too

i rub my eyes looking down
i lift my gaze and see you frown
i know you think i'm not okay
i know where you want me to stay
you wanna take me home to sleep
safely in your marine keep
blue sapphires smile their secret smile
i wink, get up and grab my file

at home we snuggle tight and sleep
soothed by the rain's heart beat
the moon bathes us with a silver beam
our hearts are light as we dream

Buried Deep

let them fall the leaves that may
let them fall every day
let them litter let them sweep
in the wind of restless sleep

can you breathe buried deep
under an old maple tree
autumn colors the ground red green blue
i only have eyes for you

in my bed your form is sweet
milky white on inky black
waiting on your hands and knees
i press kisses down your back

i travel down and down i go
until i find a rabbit hole
my tongue whispers let me in
your body shivers from the sin

after all is said and done
we lie together and as one
sated happy buried deep
my rabbit curls up to sleep

in my arms safe and soft
you squeeze my hand and we drift off
