53 Steps (Dargan)

All the water colored Christmas Carol cards
Adorn the porcelain sides of plaster walls
I watch you paint my dreams (And how)
And speak your name a bit too loud
Then chase the silence down my empty halls

I’ve never told you any more than this
I’m sixteen hours late to meet your kiss
No time is right to prove you wrong
No words persist to last that long
My truest aim is solely yours to miss

Down the ladder backward, a silhouette full grown
With candlepower to light most any home away from home
Sum it up in six words, an eloquence unknown to me beside you
In my five square miles of home

While the purple bugs crawl etched upon your stone
My busy signals scurry from your phone
The porcelain sinks and shower stalls
Still dripping ink define four walls
The touch I feel is very much my own

Down the ladder…
