Love Knows How To Deal With Me

Love knows how to deal with me

It shoots me into the sky
And lets me take in all the views
Then fall far down I lose the sight
Of beauty beheld and longed for

It causes your scent to skid past
In a moment so my nostrils yearn
My eyes scan the space of time
For the stem of your beautiful soul

But it doesn't end there

It puts you in a glass so I cannot touch
Splashes you with what should scare me
Plucks cotton wool so you cannot hear
The wooing of my tongue and pen

It guides your eyes to some flashy pool
Where all else glows except helpless me
It feeds your heart with friends' tales
And pats when you turn your back to go

It still doesn't end there

The cord that mischievous soul
Puts on us, me and you, oh dear,
No matter how we desert each other
A little twitch is felt by the other

And the more we get wrapped up
In this confusion of misunderstanding
The more our bodies draw closer
To finding, locking up each other

So we can never break away, ever!
