But For Now, I Need Your Warm Embrace Poem by Mark Heathcote

We need to put down some bedrock roots
Stop that compass spinning. Stop it in its tracks
And bed down under the starlight the moon.

We need to harbour in each other's arms
And sail that lemon-drop sunrise into that dusky dusk
Till-we-can sinks or swims and above all …anchors.

In each other's trusted arms; drown night and day.
I only want to lay with you, wake up to you...
I only want to kiss you, the way I always will.

Like, you're the first and last girl-on-my-list.
We need to hold hands and tie the knot;
A love-like-this is a dead man walking.

With a smile in his heart, his soul
Light as feather trembling in bliss
And in bliss, swearing to love you, forever.

We need to do all this tomorrow
But for now, I need your warm embrace
A kiss like satin or lace.

But for now, I need to bed you under the moon,
Till-you-can sinks or swims and above all …anchors.
Oh and Stop that compass spinning. Stop it in its tracks.
