what would happen



if i became fish

in your eyes

would i swim in the sea?


if i became ghost

in your arms

would i always be alone?


if i become steam in your kiss

would i become a rumor of bliss

forever dreaming?


if i became cloud in your mouth

out in the blue

hanging over you


while you were sleeping

and i was sleeping too

dreaming

the way dreamers do


would i be shipwrecked

and broken


and even early on

would i be able to tell

how it would end?

Sigh... what a gift to stop and read this in the midst of pumpkin cheesecake batter and sticky candied pecans. I am thankful there is Bob Schneider.

Love this because after a fashion, after loves we have known, at the end we all know what ended it from the beginning. If only we could have the wisdom in the beginning... at my age, we hope to know, but you know, it doesn't happen that way for loves lost that we go take a chance on. Hindsight, suck or not?
