No One is Coming to Catch Me

A lovely sestina

 

Word after word,

Day and night

Is it love? I kiss you and I know

Something’s always coming

Give me time to believe in you

You hold me captivated in your palm

 

I look at everyone else’s hand, but no one’s ever read my palm

Time is chasing me and I can’t stop it from coming

In the sea of sheets you whisper in winds of loving words

Some day we’ll be holding hands till the end, that I know

Can’t help it, I believe you

I know you’ll hold me tight in the dead of night.

 

I fell asleep; it’s getting late tonight

Is it love? I don’t know

We have the world inside our palm

We sat beneath the lilac sky, love is coming

I climbed up a mountain and looked off the edge, there are no words

I wonder if you’ll always think of me, like I think of you

 

We are stuck inside a sappy love song, me and you,

Stuck and no one’s coming

To help us out, rain is falling quickly, this is it, tonight

We’ve reach the kissing scene, we don’t need a single word

My hand is held securely inside you’re palm

Is it love? I think now I know

 

I felt your soul follow mine; I miss those first days, when I didn’t know

what would happen next. Still today even if it’s not the same I don’t know whats coming.

You make hope there’s a God, so that when I die I’ll still see you.

Your cheek fits so perfectly inside my palm

Doesn’t matter anymore, it’s my heart that beats inside your chest on this night

Love is blind, I wish I had met you a lifetime ago, and then we wouldn’t need any words

 

I remember all those drunken passionate night, we made promises with honest words

You said I was you everything, I told you that you were my world, on that night

The night that I ran out of ways of saying I love you

Love came, I knew it was coming

I welcomed it with open palms

Is it love? Yes it is this I know.

 

Today, on this late hour of the night, I put my palms together

And I pray. I don’t know who’ll listen to my words; I know it won’t be god.

I’m falling, I have no hero coming to catch me, I have you to believe in, fall with me.
