An Hour Of Your Time

An hour of your time Don't make it a crime If you say you'll be mine Somewhere deep inside Arrives a truth, that doesn't lie That our love should never die. Deep beneath your eyelids A one breath pearl swimmer dives Like a spy without—disguise He's injured & he's hurt Waiting for a word To console his depleted air his world. A patriotic thinker He's got his finger On the trigger And doesn't know How or which way to go… Doesn't care to live or die alone So spare a minute on your cell phone Invite him when he comes in from the cold, back home. On your terms make love to him & grow old Together fight the oncoming years and grow old. It's in his hearts where the truth arrives I can read it in those tea leaf skies Before my soul became the mirror of your eyes Somewhere deep inside Arrives a truth that never lies That love for you, it will never tarnish, never die. Deep beneath your eyelids This one breath pearl swimmer dives Like a spy without a disguise He's injured & he's hurt Waiting for a word To console his depleted air his world A second from his fading time on earth Don't make it a crime If you say you'll be his you'll be mine for all time. 14.1.2001
