Attraction
Joseph Scott Thomas 1984 (Tucson, AZ)
I’ve been wandering the midnight sea
for it seems eternity
Rudderless, resigned to fate
How much longer must I wait
A jewel of blue, here’s something new
With gravity I’m drawn to you
Love at first sight must be true
Because I know I’d die for you
Your body pulls my frozen heart
Moving to the light from dark
Accelerating towards the mark
The fireworks are about to start
My corona flares to life
to free me from the ice eternally
Within me lie the tiny seeds
To kindle life within your seas
Oh how the friction causes heat
Yeah your liquid warmth wraps around me
Yeah I could stay here for eternity
Yeah the gift of life when bodies meet
