Shelter

Shelter I seek amidst my fall
over, under, braided in
your grasp I crawl

Shelter was the place The wide, Lied,
hands, clammy, silly and large
heart strings untied

Shelter did lead me there, your smile
dopey, stale, loudly redeems
A refuge beguile

Shelter like movie reeling scenes
back seats, bed posts, romancing
like dreams

Shelter like the azurely blue
songs sung in dizzy love tunes
guarded in your view

Shelter inside your music grin,
notes shown flatly bold, words flood
fill me to the brim

Shelter shadowed by the dark night
heavy, endless and you
the moon, perfect and bright
