Getting To Know You More
it may start with a name
how to pronounce it
where the accent lies
then i begin to look behind
figuring out which shadows
make a good story or at all
a bad tale
that may stop my own little world
from spinning
then we go dining
i take the bill
we sip wine and admire the
delicacies of
our newly found intimacies
then without much expense on
words
we end up in bed
trying to figure out who and what
we really are
what sadness lies
within the almonds of our eyes
mapping out
where happiness is
the limits of our own
idiosyncrasies
then we look at our eyes again
something is wrong
but definitely within our hearts
something right
shouts for joy
