Walk with me

Lived in the rain 

Cleansing 

Hope scattered in the splash of a puddle

Reflected of the sky

Steady tattoo of sound

Pitter pat

Pitter pat

Heavy are the feet that walk the mud

Heavy is the heart that only sees ground

Afraid to lift their head

Afraid to see what I see

No beauty is seen in the dark

Eyes hide the glint of once that was

Eyes belie the truth of that will be

Pitter pat Pitter pat

In the palm of my hand I hold yours

Intertwined fingers clasp for anything

Something

Allow me to be those eyes that see no more

Allow me to whisper a name in your ears

Unheard of since the rains began

I walk beside so you never walk alone

Pitter pat

Pitter pat

Tomorrow begins lonely

Silver trembles at thought of loneliness

Endured in the light of the new moon

Eyes cast to the heavens from lands away

Viewing the same stars in constellations unknown

And I kiss

 

Silken touches of skin electric

Tenderness devours eclectic rhythms born of sorrow

Words left unsaid feed the baying hounds

Confuse the jester now as a card is played

And I kiss

 

Layered in cashmere you hide to obscure

Kaleidoscopic distortions live the truth

Eyes give away reality to that left unsaid

Shrouded in protection giving way to seduction

And I kiss

 

In the realm of another place I see your reflection

As a single hand touches as words whisper unspoken

Reveal trust in the guise of forever

Reveal yesterdays torment as another scar of protection

And I kiss

 

Sail me through the wake in seas of a calm storm

Intolerable as the future guides nothingness 

Weening from the teet of a new day

Hidden in the illusion of self doubt

And I kiss

 

Dodging raindrops as they fall gold from the stars

Skin coloured alabaster glistening in the sun

I call nothing and whisper your name

A gypsy’s smile cast in a spell of love

And I kiss

 

In the last kiss goodbye

I linger a moment more

Holding your breath

Listening to the evermore

And I kiss

Attraction

Rust descends on us now

As flickering candlelight shows our many facets

Much maligned I rest on blended knee

Raising my head as it is guided by your hands

Eyes meet eyes exposing tortured souls

Each knowing the others past before word are spoken

The last of the moons crescent glimmers silver

Darkness exposing the fragility of our humanity 

The uneven rhythm of lapping waves match our heartbeat

Calming the demons that live beneath this, our skin

Each soul has met before on the fields of sunset

Painted hues of vermillion coating the sky as it once coated our hands

Yesterday ends as tomorrow begins

Both knowing that this dance lives in eternity
