Elsa’s Lullaby

i love the way
you wait for me
ever so
patiently
how you lie
near my guitar
oblivious of how
gorgeous you are

how you tilt your face
up in the air
to take in the scent
that’s lingering there
or how you find comfort
like a queen
with the finest
poses i’ve ever seen

beautiful elsa
love of my life
you make me
feel so free
let’s run away together
you and me

if you were
a little bigger
i’d ride you bareback
down the river
while you galloped
through the wind
that brushed my
summer skin

or if i was
of your kind
i’d run through the desert
by your side
i’d follow you
through the bush
you the lovely
huntress

beautiful elsa
love of my life
you make me
feel so free
let’s run away together
you and me

remember when
i took you in
you were just a tiny
little thing
you grew into
my closest friend
with uncanny
compassion

when i go traveling
and i call
i hear you howling
down the hall
and when i’m gone
for too long
hearing you
i cry too

sweetest elsa
love of my life
you make me
feel so free
let’s run away together
you and me

now i watch you
sleep by the door
curled up on some
hotel room floor
and i grieve a little
at the brevity
of your time here with me

beautiful elsa
love of my life
golden lashes
heart melting eyes
let’s hide away forever
you and me

querida elsitta
l’amour de ma vie
you make me
feel so free
let’s run away together
