SALT AND PEPPER

if you shake a little pepper

i will shake a little salt

if you were a grain of barley

i would be a grain of malt

if you were the epicenter

i would have to be your fault

its plain to me

i want to be

right next to thee
.

if you were a little swing set

i would have to be a slide

if you were the shining moon

i'd have to be the rising tide

if you were a rolling mountain

i would be the other side

it's clear to see

i need to be

right next to thee
.

if you'll be my little darling

i will be your precious babe

if you were a sculpted roosevelt

i'd get the dibs on abe

if you were a golden trumpet

i would be the lips of gabe

so dear to me

please let me be

right next to thee
.

as it is you're now my honey

i've become your busy bee

since we've joined hands on the journey

we now share a history

what was once quite vague and blurry

is a former mystery

eternally

i know i'll be

right next to thee
