 Dangerous
(Should I get your name tattooed
 across the clouds that float in blue?)
 
I could not forget the way we met,
 or my nervousness inside;
 you flew across the room and said
 "Smile out loud - are you my kind?"
 
Now we have spent some days like this,
 and we've both learned a thing or two -
 our parting touches, tenderness,
 our eyes, say it's not through.
 
We're drawn together, how we dance,
 in this magnetic strangerness.
 We whisper and we're in a trance,
 mesmerized, it's dangerous.
 
Should we get our names tattooed
 across the oceans of all time,
 or just commit to memory
 the way we sailed them with our minds?
 (Should I get your name tattooed
 across the lifeline of my hand -
 or do it to do it or do it to do it or -
 play our cards the way they land?)
 
Ice cream how perfect can it be,
 this electric together us?
 Evening lights our lives carefree,
 fueled by liquid living trust.
 
Should I get your name tattooed
 across the knuckles of my chest -
 or kiss your hair a sweet good-night?
 You know - it's not so dangerous.
 
Danger, 
 danger, 
 danger -
 Us.
