Idle I Wait Lyrics by DKMH

2019

Painted dots.
Blue, white and brown.
Water, salt and sugar.
Sweet, tart.
Two sea-salt crusted flats.
Flats of land, jammed.
Tidal ripples.
~
You skimmed.
Thrown,
blown into force.
I can’t grasp myself.
Reaching into the black space in between.
Distance in body but not mind.
How sublime,
It must be to think like he.
He is not me though, how I wish to be as simple,
And as free.
~
Burdens are a gift,
Thrifted from the greatest of he’s and she’s and bestowed upon me.
To see, to feel, burdened by insecurity.
The irony.
Ashamed to have blamed that peach nose and sphere world heart.
I know parts of you but like the world and its vastness.
It’s beauty,
I have not tasted all of you.
You trapped and draped your silk skin around me.
Not him.
And silently I listen in.
~
Woman: Over there, on the other side of the room. One of the steel panels flew open.
Man: Sure didn’t. There’s a light on in the room there.
Woman: Tex.
Man: Well let’s go see. At least we can hear ourselves walking now. Gee I like to make noise when my feet hit the floor. Well that’s something now isn’t it? Look at the room.
Woman: Oh Tex, what an attractive little room. Like that stateroom on that fine ocean liner.
Child: Mother.
~
Boom, boom.
Now.
I have to speak to seek guidance.
Hello,
I am him.
You met, you set hopes, you eloped.
And I choked in the night from fright.
Idle I wait.
For that heartbeat.
For she to see, to see he.
He wants to explore,
To explore more, more of her.
Her heartbeat.
Her heartbeat that is the world.
~
The dreams I had about you were, for a moment, real.
We got to live in the unbroken seal.
No restraints, so simple and sweet.
Short and sweet,
Honey and wheat.
In the sky at night we watched the stars.
The stars that shone a million lives lost and won.
A sky filled with infinite possibilities.
Nothing is finite in the evening light.
Ropes, hold us.
Love, binds us.
And air floats us.
~
People speak of love,
Legends of love
Stories long for told of love between the young,
And the old.
A complex puzzle.
Centuries have tried to figure you out but there is no figuring you out,
You are without a doubt the biggest mystery of all.
You are complex and simple and unpredictable.
You are the waves, the tides and the current,
Born of the sea, a complete mystery.
Opaque, cloudy.
Can’t quite make out what I seem to think you’re about.
Weaved and woven.
Knitted together like a sweater for the coldest weather.
Tight.
But soft and warm.
~
Woman: Irma. He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he loves me not.
Man: I don’t know what to say, I’m all choked up.
Woman: Oh Al, this is a moment I’ve waited for.
