This Eclipse

for Jessica

we walk on the ocean floor, though gravity doesn't allow
we stay sturdy on the boat, while hanging off the bow-
here we sit, alone again, sounding off at the slightest shot from the gun
you are my moon, eclipsing this sun

you pull them in, just to erase time spent at shore
when I thought I was filled with love, you spilled in some more
this is reality as time goes by,
this is love, and nobody knows why

it's not the way you smile that takes me higher
it's not the way you talk that makes me fire,
as you are my moon
well will both show off our love closer to noon

you will show your curves to the face of the world
asking them to understand -
if it's not the weight of the world
then its the way you play your hand

you are my beautiful eclipse
and you will always be my beautiful ellipse
