The Globe

The Globe

I am exploring the earth with you

We are pointing out countries at random

Standing gleefully beside a globe

The world at our fingertips

And that night, we begin

Your mouth tastes like like India in the summer

The flavours and brightness and vivacity

They combine on your tongue

And it intertwines with mine and then, even India is not enough for me

Tokyo is next

The speed, the lights

The wonder of an experience so brand new

As you reach down, it’s almost too much

But at the same excruciating time it’s not enough

I always want more, I always want more of you

What I do next

Is an abandoned beach between cliffs in Portugal

In front of me is a bed of sapphires

And what we are sharing transcends into not just human

The life in the ocean and the rainforest and the desert

Is inside us

And,

I am there

I can feel the bitter air of the lagoons in Iceland

And the hot dust from the ruins in Rome

I am as tall as the Empire State Building

And so far under the sea in Thailand I reach infinity

I am dancing with medieval dragons in China

And twirling around in a Scottish marquee

I am everywhere

And I am home
