Close to Me

Manuel Santos, Jr 1973 (United States)

Sweet mind bending oh so kind leaving you soft caked with emerald divinity.
Closer to the cliff of my heart we happily find the diamond  field of shear simplicity.

Strawberry spine has me protected from the evil that wishes me gangrene gone.
Tears more delicate than babies escape fiercely from my swollen eyes.
I softly detach my thorny based love from the pearl maroon skies.
My silky soul smiles bigger than the forgiving Sun becomes I know soon we will all be one.

Rusty night wanes weak and low.
I embrace all my family, friends and enemies, as if this were the last time but truthfully Love is all I know.
