Susie Cinnamon
She
said let's talk about the weather,
I said like "weather" or not you love me anymore.
She said I think it would be better
if maybe you didn't see me any more.
I said then turn out the lights
and then lay down with me
I promise not to look,
she smiled and told me goodnight,
said you’re much too clever,
you should save it for your book.
I said I think you are so gorgeous
with your bleach blonde hair
and your silver platform shoes.
And all the people at the office
think you’re so far out
you're living on the moon,
and I just really believe
that the sun gets brighter
with every breath you take,
and when you're looking at me
my souls ignited and floating off in space.
When I first saw you at the college
your hair was brown and you sat all by yourself.
Right there beneath the tree of knowledge
with your naked soul just crying out for help.
And I just couldn't believe that I found
somebody who recognized my soul.
And everything that you said was just
variations on everything I know.
All I ever really want to do is be alone with you
and melt into your kiss of cinnamon.
Walk into the winter night alone with you
down forest trails pass looming silos by the frozen lake.
