And Sometimes You Just Fall In Love

by michaelcahill

words can lie
they can manipulate and cajole and deceive
if that is the intention
of their invention
men know this all too well

but then words can climb
                an ascension
                                when they flow without agenda

a heart that empties
a soul in flight
a mind in thought unencumbered or slumbered

                in innocence, a like mind might encounter words
                                and see--
                                a heart
                                a soul
                                                thoughts

pure and simple strands of truth
that weave into a tapestry

it is a covering unknown to any but this lonely heart
shivering in the dark and finding the surprise of sudden

   warmth

                sometimes boys are reached just like that
                before the more foolish parts of them


   can speak

maybe a poem
maybe a story

but sometimes
you can fall in love
just like that

                in secret

Apologies for the sound quality, etc. This is all I have. I had this little tune I was tinkering with and the phrase "A loss for words" in my head. So, I started playing and this is what came out. Overly long, choppy, sloppy and noisy, yes. When I get discovered and signed by Geffen Records I'm sure I can improve on it. :))
