More Than a Thought
Sleepily I sit here, softly pressing small keys
The more I think, the harder it gets as the light fades away
Nooks and crannies and all unimportant I notice all night
My attention strays enough from my work to hear a tap
I arise from my seat and past the door I look to the right
After the door creaks open, I don’t see a thing at first
Just darkness lurking all around, as if there is a sense I lack
I walk downstairs and start staring towards nothing
I don’t know what to think, I can’t turn back
I had to see soon the something that is so elusive
The kitchen light is on, so I look over there
To the only light in this dark, dark night
It is a gryphon, its eyes shown bright
He looks straight at me as I shiver in fright
“Don’t fear a thing” it whispers—he is being polite
“No need to worry, you know I won’t bite.”
And now I’m really confused, what should I do?
The gryphon took my shoulders, pressing me close to him
His wings wrap around us, he stares into my eyes
“What are you so frightened of?” His soft tone soothing
I can feel his warmth across my cheek as he leans in
No longer can I resist the charm he shows
I wrap my arms around him and hold him near
I close my eyes and stroke softly across his side
What is this sensation which I know I abide?
Love for the first time, but how come like this?
I am but a young kitsune feeling this way to another
This love toward a male caused my mind to become a blur
How did it come out like this? Why is this so?
His serene ways melt me; I can’t think now or before
But now I know I’m sure that I should never let go
He is irresistible, really, perfect in my mind
Not everyone gets the one they’ve been yearning to find
I suppose I am a lucky boy to have such a lover
He seems too perfect, he resembles my every wish
Can one really be this lucky? I know I have to ask him
But soon I would regret asking as the night began to dim
“You made everything better by appearing this night
And so I just have to ask, you are real, right?
I want to know your name, and I don’t want to fight.”
I don’t know what to expect and soon I will find out
His soothing response, what I was worrying about
“I am but an icon,” he replies, “so you would stop denying
And now you have shown the side of you that has been hiding
So my job is done.” His elegant figure started to fade away
Though sorrow would overwhelm not even the next day
“Don’t leave me,” I whisper, “You are more than anything.”
But my plea is too late, he is gone now
I drag my sad self upstairs to see a light not there before
The gryphon is lying on my bed; he glares into my eyes
His seduction lures me; I lie down and he switches off the light
We hold each other close, now alone in the cold, dark skies
Neither of us had chills; our warmth let us sleep through the night
Sleepily I sit here, softly pressing small keys
The more I think, the harder it gets as the light fades away
Nooks and crannies and all unimportant I notice all night
My attention strays enough from my work to hear a tap
