Tell Me Something

Tell me something.

Make me laugh until

my tear ducts run dry.

Catch me.

Push me down,

kiss me awake.

Pick me a song.

Tattoo the melody

in my heart.

Just don’t put a time on my joy

don’t put a clock in my heart.

Plant me a garden.

Bless every seed

with a dollop of love.

Find me a house.

Paint the walls

all the colors of daydreams.

Buy me a ring.

Braid the band

each a strand of a promise.

Just don’t say maybe or might

Unless yes is the answer without question.
