This week, I’ve chosen to use one of my favourite Shakka songs from his Lost Boys EP – Poems about poems is where I’m at right now, and i’ve multiplied this song for your reading pleasure.
You don’t know what you do to me 2
Even in the dark, I can see you. – Lost in the spaces between stars, to be near you.
I see you staring at the part of the room that I’m standing in.
Your face, turned towards me – a narrow corner where a lost boy is sheltering.
Even in the dark, I can see you.
As if I’m doing magic tricks whilst you wonder how they’re happening.
Can you feel our future? Or does the eye that you use foresee a different understanding?
Even in the dark, I can see you.
Her eyes got me travelling, Cupids got a javelin.
I came when you called – his plans for us transcending.
Who’s that?
You don’t know what you do to me.
Understanding is astray, a lost child to me.
Who’s that?
I’m out of control…out of control around you.
Violence would be peace in comparison around you.
Pretty bad at one-liners but I’m damn good at shuffling.
You erase my mother tongue; I move my feet towards you – shuffling.
You don’t know what you do…
Trust, it’s better if we dance, if I talk I’ll be rambling.
Fear – together if I dance? I can’t decipher her, the words – they’re scrambling.
You don’t know what you do…
To me, I’m out of control around you…
Lost in the spaces between stars, to be near you.
