I DO NOT WISH

    I DO NOT WISH                   TIM WILLIAMS          MAY 2015

I DO NOT WISH TO BE SHIELDED
FROM THE GLARE OF YOUR SUN,
OR PROTECTED FROM THE HEAT 
AND INTENSITY OF YOUR SMILE,
NEVER FORGET YOUR DREAMS
BOARD THE TRAIN, YES BOARD THAT TRAIN,
WITH YOUR DREAMS CWTCHED IN YOUR BAG FOR LIFE
AND NEVER LOOK BACK AT THE MOON

I DO NOT WISH TO PICK LOVES BLOSSOM
JUST FEED IT, NURTURE IT, CULTIVATE IT'S EVOLUTION,
WHISPER IN MY EAR TONIGHT
QUIETLY UTTER YOUR INNER MOST FEARS AND THOUGHTS,
THESE ALWAYS SURPRISE AND COMFORT ME
YOUR THOUGHTS DRIFT PAST ME LIKE SHADOWS,
RAISED INTO BEING OR BORN OF THE SUN
WHO SLEEPS TONIGHT, SO THE MOON MAY SHINE ON US

I DO NOT WISH FOR ANYTHING
NOTHING THAT I DO NOT ALREADY HAVE IS IMPORTANT,
I BELIEVE TO HAVE MORE COULD DILUTE THAT WHICH WE HAVE
WATERED DOWN FEELINGS ARE JUST WASTED SUNLIGHT,
WAX LYRICAL TO ME IN A DARK ROOM
THE POETIC MOON LIGHTS YOUR WORDS,
A LONE FLICKERING CANDLE DANCES AND WARMS YOUR BREATH
I SEE THE WORDS " I LOVE YOU " FORMED AS A MIST

I LOVE YOU INTENSELY LIKE AN EXPLODING HEART
WHILE A TEPID TEAR OF JOY REMOVES YOUR MAKE-UP,
I WIPE IT AWAY WITH A WARM FINGER AND DAM THE STREAM
AND OUR DREAMS KISS EACH OTHER GOODNIGHT
BUT REMAIN OUR'S , ALWAYS TO BE OUR'S
