Sleeping Past Noon

 

If I had to tell the whole world some inspiration

I'd tell them to just let go

The ocean's blue can be seen by brown eyes

And that color of love can be seen by blue

And it's all just one magical moment

Everything and nothing is true

When I see you standing there, in your naked hue

Stranger lips smiling back at me

 

I wake up and it's afternoon

The morning spent in a bed for two

It's quiet in your empty room

Stale pretzels soften, VH1 is mute

Bottles of soda cans go flat

And all I can hear is you breathing

But, your body doesn't seem to move

 

I feel your fingers resting on my stomach

With all of your weight against my back

I fall fast asleep after 12 hours deep because

God, it just feels so good to be

In those moments, it's like another realm

Where the mind is orgasmic and there exists no

Qualm

 

My mother and I used to share a bed sometimes

In the late afternoon, when we would laugh and lay

She loved me more than all of the worlds together

She'd kill for me, die for me, jump off a mountain for me

All I remember is, she'd hold me tight

I felt the love, the actual love, through her arms around me

Who would of thought I'd find another

A man, this man, whom I didn't know

Up until 11 months ago

 

Now he is here and he is my new rock

My mother, father, sister, friend

Best friend, lover, confidante

All in one, it seems

Pretending solidity, like a faux diamond ring

We sleep soundly, cuddling closely

Ignoring doorbells and the telephone's ring

 

Love may be disillusion, love may be false

Love can hurt and bring despair on anyone involved

But, God, I hope this doesn't end

With a final bottle of bitter red wine

From a trip to Ocean Wine and Spirits

Falling asleep at 10, watching dumb reality shows up until then

 

Your last humorous email, morning passionate kiss

Final drive around Asbury at 2 am

Gogol Bordello and Adam Green playing on the radio

Alas, one more good old-fashioned I love you

A goodbye kiss

Half-empty bed

 

But, it is 12 noon now and we lie together

I lay here in his arms, he holds me tight

His breath tickles the hairs on my skin

Ever so softly, delicate, light

The moment is now, let this never end!

These blankets orgasmic, my logic dimmed
