For Kristopher Michael Flannery
1983 - 2016

lyrics

The crescent shape mirrored by ink on a folded page
forms a gesture I represent to you in strategic ways

A clever hint at thoughts we exchange in air
it lifts me like the scent of your hair

A drive on streets draped in our chemistry
creates a break in the persistent misery

A deep breath pulled from Autumn skies
reminds me of these moonlit rides

A thanks won't ever be enough
to formulate the sum of love
To bring to paper the pen that writes our story
When this song plays
may you never weep
and as I sit here for days and days
and tear this book page from page
but nothing reads those words quite like his kiss to your head and frame

Drifting eyelids mark an arm follow down your form
the slightest touch of skin adorned
the slightest glance across the room
sends a message up my spine

pressing a chest to your back
when two heartbeats match
we'll not say the words haunting my mind
the day we part ways will be the day I die

A thanks won't ever be enough
to formulate the sum of love
To bring to paper the pen that writes our story
When this song plays
may you never weep
and as I sit here for days and days
and tear this book page from page
but nothing reads those words quite like his kiss to your head and frame

For when the winds decide to change
and the tide will set the stage
for him take you under vows
the sun will set and the moon will rise
with a likeness of the sunset
in your eyes
