Come Now From That Place

 

Come now from that place

the one which hides your face.

I see you plainly within my heart

but just too long since your depart.

 

Far too many words ago

you slipped from here to fro

Left me dangling like a branch

a limb broken with circumstance.

 

Nothing I say seems to work

thinking perhaps I am a jerk.

But all that put back and aside

miss your voice and sensual ride.

 

Come now from that place

the one which hides your face.

Share with me minute simplicities

asking not for certain specificities.

 

Is it that hard for us to share

even when souls are not bare.

Perhaps the weather might be

a topic to write about, you and me.

 

I heard your word's explanation

still rendering me in your fascination.

But...am I so difficult to speak to

cause I am enamored with you.

 

Come now  from that place

the one which hides your face

and freely give up a tiny part

once again to tingle my heart.

 

Like a sparce dinner break

food without spice, goodness sake

yet we gather at the table's seat

with neither of us a chance to eat.

 

You dangled such lovely fare

then slid on off to hide somewhere

Just as I settled in for the duration

seems you only felt a summation.

 

Woman, bring your self back

knowing its you I suffer in lack.

Stop that hiding of your face

come now from that hidden place.
