Fermatas

Our love is a bundle of fermatas

If the world is a rhapsody

And every day brings new lines to play, to hear

Every day with you is the part of the song

Where everything is in major

The percussion takes a break

And the woodwinds tap out notes that canter

Like horses down a hill,

While the trumpets play single, steady notes

Almost completely still, as a voice sings like a bird

Your heart beats like the metronome

And I am home

As you hold me like a note,

Make me feel the beauty

That's been stuffed deep into my soul

And your kiss brings me to life

Like I am an instrument

But the music you send through me

Cannot be heard, but seen

As happiness in my eyes,

Felt as the warmth rising to my fingertips

And read in the words I write.
