Speak To Me

Meet me in the in-between
With frozen lips and gasoline
The promise of the day is what you bring
It's the strangest thing.

Burning brides and idle hands
Can't keep us from the things we planned
The promise of love is in the air
What it's like to finally care.

Fall into the song and dance
Of holding out for happenstance
But I don't want to take that chance
So come and speak to me.

Sweet surrender on the line
Now it's time to say "I'm fine"
We'll see each other one more time
C'mon and speak to me.

Throwing stones and pallindromes
Will keep us from the things we own
The promise of a life is what we share
And we'll always care!

Won't you come and stand with me?
The one above will set you free
The promise of the day you'll see
So come and speak to me.

You have no idea how good a beach walk sounds right now. laugh A beach vacation sounds like heaven. *sighs contentedly*

Sunny and Macduff,

It sounded like a song to me as well as I wrote it, I had a vision of playing my chanter to it. It would work as a jig or a reel. :)

Yes, a nice song it would be if sung. What is ever better to share than promise of a life to always care and be together! My good friend poet advised to always Assume the Best, as she put it. This song fills me with hope on this bright sunny morning. Thank you, ROS.

Hi ROS

Earlier replies note the melodic rhythm, there is also an enigmatic element which confirms the author as a lady of mystery.

An enjoyable read.

Best wishes

Hi, ReaderOfSouls,
Meet me in the in-between is such a wonderful line opening to mystery and adventure, sans a palindrome going first one way and then the other.
