That Snow Boy
There he stood
white as snow
pale as a ghost
he was nothing more than a lost spirit in these
rough dusty town roads
floating through life trying to find
anything he could cling to in this
god forsaken town.
that snow boy always had my eye
and he knew it too
we took him in and he caught on real quick
he got his guns and we took off into the sunset and
he never did look back, not once
left all he knew
he consumed my thoughts quick,
that snow boy
like a blizzard he coated my mind in powdery white snow.
he ain't like the other men in this town
he's got a heart far too big for his body.
Never thought id look at anyone the way I look at that
snow boy.
especially not another boy- no
another man.
we ain't teenagers. we don't have time for this experimenting
but when his hand is in my hair
and my hand is on his side and
we are tangled in an embrace
its hard to think of much else.
kept me on my toes.
I wish he were a woman.
not in the sense that i'd love him more as a woman.
no.
I couldn't love him as a woman because he wouldn't be him. he'd be
that snow girl.
but it isn't the same
don't roll off the tongue
don't fill me with thoughts and longings.
but I want to love him how I could love a woman.
openly.
