a bit of love
today is one of those days
when i look to the sky,
trying to figure out exactly what you might be
sometimes far, and sometimes near
at times climbing to the peak,
at times falling,
and when you come near me
i'm not responsible for my actions
i feel like-- here i go,
from hating you to loving you,
from the beginning to the end,
only searching for a little bit of love.
there are things in life
which don't give you a way to escape,
and when your eyes are before me--
the curtain closes.
and atop the mouth of the volcano
which has been making lava these thousand years--
that's here inside me,
interweaving tokens and signs
to see if i can catch and keep you,
straining and filtering all i see and hear
in the midst of this deadly tropic.
