On a Year Older (Almost and Never)

Lovely day
Spent exorcizing demons and trolls
Out of the curves of my spine
and along my arms and legs
I drift, not walk, to him as Happy Phantom
And regain matter only as I drop into his arms
Oh, you
Oh, baby, I'm so relaxed I can't move
Alright, then
He scoops me up
And carries me gently to the bed
There is a place and time for him to break my heart
But not here and not now
He strokes my hair as I drift in and out of worlds
You're beautiful
Exhale
You're amazing
I smile into the reality which is nicer than the dream
Not here
And not now
Not
here
Not
now
