Wings

When you came

You knew what you were going to do

You knew what you were going to be

I had no idea

I had no idea the test would come so soon

Dreams have a funny way of showing up

when you least expect them

and you can't recognize them

Good thing 

I have something

on the inside 

that makes it impossible to miss

those people that I need to meet

Take your time in my life

I want you for a long time

I want to have you 

in all the ways 

this life will allow

I can't pretend

you don't cause 

the old things inside me

to suffocate

What do you want

What do you want from my heart

I wish I could spend time's time

with you

that's how special you are

I wish I had seconds

that stretched into miles

I just wouldn't know what to say

I wouldn't know how to spend 

so much time with you

I am an artist

and I created a blueprint of myself

You are the masterpiece

chiseled from my pain and my faith

Excuse me 

beloved

excuse me while I 

curl up in my heart

and let you spin the picture 

Excuse me while 

my spirit talks to yours

and my words become

nonsense and folly

This is me 

opened out

All of my sadness

hangs around 

it's curious about you

and why it wants hug you

all the happiness in me

dances for you

If I had the time

and no need for words

I would spend that time

writing

and watching you

build your life

If I could 

I would take the love I have inside

mold it into wings

and place them on you

And watch you 

as you use my love to leave the ground
