A Different Kind of Love

I can feel it beckoning
A different kind of love
A complex force that summons me
A different kind of love
In the night it comes to me
A different kind of love
And in the morning it's still there
A different kind of love
To each his own
My heart is yours for now
The web of time will catch us all
In tachyons and electrical fires
Why are people cruel?
You'll find out soon enough
Falling through skylights
Stars shoot out of her eyes
I am a prisoner of dreams
She has when she's awake
Just hold your tongue and wait
You'll need it soon enough
To know the sacred space
We're all emerging from
The chrysalis of hate
Will turn from green to black
And flowers will await
Our hunger and our lust
I suckle nectar there
My touch clumsy and rough
And then I fall asleep
In a world that's just and fair
It's never good enough
Best not to think you know
The spinning wheel you are
The seconds that it takes
Refracted in the compound eye
The glassine butterfly
Crafted at a table
By hands that hurt and heal
The splendor overwhelming
We gather for the meal
Partake of what's been offered
Then offer up what you can spare
Or take some of the burden
If it's one that you can bear
From an open window
We listen for the doves
Nothing new under the sun
A different kind of love
