Description: it's going to take a long time
to write myself out of this one
am I learning?
of course
the explorer -------------------------------------------
love asks us to be
where we haven't gone before
into a shadow where love hasn't found
herself yet, and I am lost in the abyss
that isn't yet you
call me Indiana Jones
because I see the grail and it's
solemn liquid pours over my head
fated christening but you're the babe
and I have arrived before you
we are the characters love has cast
I'm scaling the wall and swimming the moat
until you believe in yourself
and return the sweetness
reluctant to be tied to the chair
with visions of the lit fuse
sadly looking for signs of life
I romance the dance that is you.
is my gaze a simple myth
that distorts my perception?
love owns me
and is looking for devotees
the bewilders are howling at my door
and I am the explorer
