Spooning a Stranger (a co-write)

Spooning a stranger,
Wondering how I got here,
What’s the distance from now to then,
Leaving myself behind,
Talk when she says when,
She brings me to the moment,
Takes me to the edge,
Turns me round,
Then brings me back again,
And because she is a stranger,
It’s safe enough to open up,
And let her come all the way in,
For when spooning a stranger,
A part of me lets go,
And where it goes,
I guess I’ll never know.

KISS ME

Kiss me
When I least expect it
When I’ve no chance to deflect it
Someplace
Where no one can detect it
Not on the forehead or the chin
But on the mouth
And deep within
Kiss me freely
Nothing pending
Kiss me like
It’s never ending
Kiss me.
