Just Beyond My Reach You Sleep

In my here and now Another cigarette keeps me company While just beyond my reach You sleep Nestled in a sherpa slumber Providing you the calm you've sought And earned, by falling into my carefree bed My heart longs to warm you Just like my soft pink sweater You've decidedly made into your surrogate pillow Outside, the frozen night Her fingers chapped Taps at my window Hoping I'll let her in But I will keep her far from you, tonight And in all the days to come If that, so be your wish, your want What words fail to say My eyes should show, Look close and deep What your ears long to hear Listen, my song will sing What your hands long to hold, retain May my touch fulfill And should you find your heart In need of answers Why not simply ask me questions Saturdays are meant for lovers Dinners and slow dances Seeing the future in one another's eyes But for us, different I trust you have the tangible truth As obvious as tonight's moon overhead That goes, without doubt, to the deepest place Of soul and self assurance Easing all that bends you, burdensome And increasingly serves to blanket you Just beyond my reach you sleep
