Listening To Love Songs Poem by Midnight Clarity

Listening To Love Songs



Love songs unfold the corners of the heart
stretch you out like paper
unwrapping all your dreams
the packages of hope, of sorrow
tightly held breath for tomorrows
that may taste richer than today.
Love songs write their sweet sweet lies
on the surface of your soul
pressing all the buttons
that open all the doors
digging into secrets hiding
in the skylight of your eyes
they sound your pain out loud
slap band aids over wounds
still pouring blood.
Love songs are just stranger's lazy dreams
made vocal, trailing teasing fingers
now fast, now slow
across the nerves that lead
directly to your heart
to split it open so you can be seen
Love songs dampen sad eyes' lashes
and sometimes other places
with magic phrases weighted down
with feelings, that precious coin
we all are so afraid to spend
and trapped between the words and music
love songs lift our blinded faces
searching for a kiss.
