Love Like a Weed




I know you, I've met you, I've seen you before,
But this is the first time you've been through my door.
No small talk, no chit-chat, not even a word.
No sound from either of us was heard.
We kissed, breathed heavy, and then danced around.
I laughed myself silly then fell to the ground.
I felt higher, a flier, I sat on cloud nine.
I didn't know you well, but I knew you were mine.
I've hungered, I've thirsted, but never like this.
To think, it stemmed from a single kiss.
Now we're together day in and day out.
I can't remember long ago, my time without.
You are my life, you are my breath,
I will love your kiss until my death.
And after that, with harp and horn,
I will rest in the soil from which you were born.
