if I met you on a speeding midnight
train, we’d talk
I, liberal and full of joy,
would smile upon your beauty as a man
and we’d connect
your principles would chime within my heart
my feelings take effect
my eyes would trace the color of your eyes
the light in them, your lips
I’d long to banish distance from between us
you’d seem so worthy of my awe
and fingertips
so wise
a brother in spirit
a lover in flesh
your demeanor inspire, admire, impress
if I met you on a speeding midnight
train
you’d have my heart – like now –
desire to remain
