New Leaf (Lyric) by dragonfly As does the fog of the bay creep
he comes to blanket me
and all my usual worries do not matter now
as I revel in the beauty that lies
in the sight of him asleep
And so the walls I built erode to debris
My only defense is a pile at my feet
I'm turning a new leaf
He drifts along in the upsweep
of a stream that empties into me
and he takes refuge in my keep
and all my usual worries do not matter now
as I'm watching him asleep
And so the walls I built erode to debris
My only defense is a pile at my feet
And this is a battle I will not retreat
I'm turning a new leaf
Up the ladder:
Shadows
Down the ladder:
Day to Day

Interesting syntax in the first couple of lines...I found myself wanting more of it. Still, very nice...I haven't heard such a pleasant, concise description of the willing vulnerability of love in some time.
Thanks for the comment. I wanted to capture that feeling of "willing vulnerability," as you put it. It's incredible how much a person can change once they find someone who is right for them. The moment when other people began to notice the glow in my face served as the inspiration to write this.
Kind of pretty. Sight of him asleep is a bit worn though. And what has leaves got to do with anything.
Good though.
hehe, i guess the metaphor didnt come through well. I was trying to use the image of a tree turning a new leaf as a symbol for a change within a person.
