Holding Me Here For You

Droplets of sea awaken from inside a dream
pouring painted thoughts onto this crumbled canvass  
yellows wrap the base pulling me into you
whites and the blues float off into the distance
with the red sinking ever deeper and true

Brush away the indiscretion dripping from the west
round up the ashen tones of blush
dabbed in lunar specks of dust
cover the past as it attempts to bleed out
and in holly bough eyes spring affection

traced and trapped in a place looking back
peel off the glue holding me here for you
