Blue Hippopotamus: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 download whole song, hi-fi

This was a poem before it became a song. It is about a passionate romance between two musicians. I wrote the poem as a gift.

I long to hug you with my hands
And hold you with my words
Hang you in my eyes
Walk you through my doors

Pet you with my tongue
Laugh inside your bones
Reach into your dreams
Drag you through my clothes

And sing into your lips
Tangled in my hair
This is how I know you
With music everywhere

Resting in alignment
Jigsaw again your side
Rock me in your arms
Cradle in my thighs

Broken bleeding silence
Beads on glowing skin
Fire lights the road
Sirens sail you in

Lost in all directions
These aching wounds we bare
This is how you move me
With music everywhere

Buried in your heart
Locked into your chest
Every perfect moment
Warm against my breasts

Alive beneath our fingers
This harmony we share
This is how I love you
With music everywhere
