Didja Feel It

summer’s lush and summer’s warm

some are safe and out of hands of harm

summer’s rich and summer’s blind

putting faith in colour the sober eye won’t find

didja feel it in the shimmering green

I was drunk of tongue and dazzled I was a poetry machine

didja feel it in the the melting sun

I was soft and off balance over someone

love’s a cliff and it’s a vertigo spin

it’ll drop you like a thought into a land of whispering wings

some fall like light some fall like dew

some fall like stone one’s love is not enough for two

didja…

I remember what my heart was singing of

how I longed to speak your name to the ones I love

I remember it felt so sudden true

how come I’ve forgotten how to talk to you

didja…
