too cool

here i stand but my knees have lost their lock

and i'm rocking like a horse

trying to catch my gravity again

should i open up and relieve my equilibrium 

your smile stays with me and takes my words

maybe that's a good thing

i've wasted a lot of ink

you break into my world with tiny messages

you and me we whisper sweet and short

and this bird does sing

no matter how far the next one is away

don't tell me that this is a fantasy because

my heart tells me what is real

take my hand because i know you change me

there will be no lead, we're fastened together 

the absence of light can't hide your beauty

every day i discover more of your strength

i don't want to say everything now

but my knees are failing me once again

you and me could get lost again

we never were too good at keeping time

and sometimes i feel like a fool with a mouth attached

but baby you don't ever make me feel that way

you cradle my soul in those graceful hands

and i'm astounded, heart pounded 

somewhere i've never been

you and me made an accidental discovery

if i stumble, surely you will catch me

you won't let me touch the water

a safe bird always is the one that sings

maybe i can sing a song

and convince everyone i'm cool around you

WOW, this blows me away. I'm lost for a lack of proper wording to describe what I see in this for the beauty of one such poem, is locked in the authors protected hands. Excellent poem.
