Falling Fully

Falling fully into you
I want these crumbling walls to cease
to break, to burn, to die

To smile without these shades on my eyes
Let the laugh lines grow beside and into yours
our laughs will merge; a polyphonic melody

I'm only giving half a smile
because you only give me half of yours
but how will the map of our lives fit together
if even our smiles cannot flow into one river

I want to nudge your toes with mine
to giggle, yes, to giggle sometimes
to lean my head against your chest
but the wall, the dam' wall still stands

Falling fully into me
I think you too want these crumbling walls to cease
to break, to burn, to die.
