Mister Simpson’s Ladder

Mr. Simpson had a ladder waiting right behind his shed •• we couldn’t find your daddy’s, so we borrowed his instead •• and layed against your window as you stepped down to my arms •• then stealing through the pines to drink the sweets of moonlit charms •• the country club was glowing from the light of distant stars •• the former warmth of August overruled September’s chill •• and speaking of our futures through a careful dance of words •• holding on so tightly as if will could stop the dawn ¤ Mr. Simpson’s Ladder was our conduit to heaven •• moments barely measured form like dew upon the moss •• Mr. Simpson’s Ladder was our path to understanding •• the making of a memory that’s becoming long since lost ¤ our lives so interwoven along barely hidden roads •• the choosing and the chosen bring the bitter weighted load •• and times of intervention as fate brings our eyes to meet •• I wonder at convention; to ignore it would be sweet ¤ Mr. Simpson’s Ladder was our conduit to heaven •• moments barely measured form like dew upon the moss •• Mr. Simpson’s Ladder was our path to understanding •• the making of a memory that’s becoming long since lost ¤ and you protect the rights of those who seek the rules we’ve made •• and I collect these stories that still bounce inside my head •• and dreams we have so separated from the plans we laid •• so many times I’m longing just to hear your voice instead ¤ Mr. Simpson’s Ladder was our conduit to heaven •• moments barely measured form like dew upon the moss •• Mr. Simpson’s Ladder was our path to understanding •• the making of a memory that’s becoming long since lost - the making of a memory that’s becoming long since lost
