~Might Have Said~

~I might have said I love you~
  ~ten thousand echoes reside~
  ~three wandering moons of Atlantis~
  ~conspire to conceal, they hide~
  ~the city, my love is a rainbow~
  ~whose path is come open and wide~
  ~a tumble me down & forever~
  ~whistling of prayer, neap tide~

~I might have said who are you~
  ~whose sleep I have come to share~
  ~far misty mountains abiding~
  ~a halo of sun as they bear~
  ~tree children, my love is a whis’pring~
  ~wind through the needles, their hair~
  ~lift me up, I’m a flying man~
  ~whose heart is lighter than air~

~I might have said where are you~
  ~lonely nights lying awake~
  ~a misty gath’ring of shadow~
  ~fair ghosts of tomorrow may shake~
  ~their heads, my love is a phantom~
  ~a cry of hope for their sake~
  ~whose spirit may lie in my bosom~
  ~a lay me down I would make~

~I might have said I’ve found you~
  ~into the face of the night~
  ~the sun, a cascade of falling~
  ~makes narrowing pathways of light~
  ~a fire, my love is a ribbon~
  ~shimmering gem of delight~
  ~the body of faith come rewarded~
  ~healing caresses ignite~
    

~I might have said I love you~
  ~then finally found your face~
  ~the stars, a sprinkling of heaven~
  ~find sorrow & come to erase~
  ~the dark, my love is a promise~
  ~a choosing of time & place~
  ~whose moment I have come seeking~
~has found me & blessed me with grace~
