The Oak Tree

By: T.B.

I count the tables. She counts the trees.
I tell stories. She speaks of everything she sees.
I'm in the shade. She's in the blinding light of heaven.

A fire raised by paper boats
But now she stands before me opening the buttons of her coat
I find myself wrapped in the open arms of heaven.

I feel the
Electricity.

I hear her work. These idle hands...
I face her eyes, while I touch her hand.
I guide her way, as we both talk about the world
Underneath the oak tree.

She's giving me dreams.
We stop a moment and kiss
Underneath the fire, underneath the oak tree.
I notice
The gentle glow of halos

She talks about grace-
Just as I embrace
Her soul.
I lay my case before the open heart of heaven.

As we talk about GOD, THE DEVIL, and Love,
Underneath the fire,
Beneath the pillows and the sheets,
Underneath the oak,
I still love you more.

You touch my face, as we lay down
Together
Electricity fills the air...

Forever

Underneath the oak tree.
