Pianissimo...
Pianissimo...
My love is a tornado
ripping through our frontier town
Your body wrapped so tightly inside this twisting cone of my wedding gown
My love is a volcano pouring liquid fire
This burning lava is our funeral pyre
And I’m asking you what’s happened to our home
And your answer
is
A three word poem
Your answer is
Your love is the
hushed midnight snow
Your love is the sun’s sweet afterglow
Under the mistletoe
You kissed me, oh
So softly – I barely knew it
So softly – I talked right through it
So softly – pianissimo
My love is an avalanche
crashing down the mountainside
Till we’re buried deep under this weight and our bones collide
My love is a tidal wave battering your shore
Tearing us to pieces, leaves us flattened on the floor
And I’m asking you what’s happened to our home
And your answer
is
A three word poem
Your answer is
And with these
words my fear dissolves
And with these words I am absolved
And with these words I find my way
And with these words the night becomes the day
Your love is the
hushed midnight snow
Your love is the sun’s sweet afterglow
Under the mistletoe
You kissed me, oh
So softly – I barely knew it
So softly – I talked right through it
So softly – pianissimo
And your answer
is
A three word poem
Your answer is
Pianissimo...
