I want to feel you breathe,
  So cool and languid,
A gentle rise and fall
  Of your sweet skin...

Oh so calm and temperate
  Like the resting waters
In the glassy fields
  At nightfall.

I want to rest my head
  Against your flesh,
Pale and cold like
  A cooling, winter sunset...

And kiss your [cadaver] eyes
  All the while drifting lightly like ash
Along the soft currents
  We are carried through.

The tempest carries our bodies
  To the Sleepless Coventry
As the Albatross flies
  Over head, leading and bleeding.

The night with the eyes of water and
  Painted in decay, cries for
The tragedy I wish to
  Live...

And 'tis such a tragedy so,
  For I want to love you
In the most ardent
  Sense, my darling.

My sweet love, I wish to feel the fire inside your
  Heart to keep me warm in my coldest hour.

My ocean soul covets the
  Warmth and the silent curves
Of your tender body, becoming
  One with the waves...

Like a lone kindling flame
  Beneath the sparkling waters,
We burn together, attracting
  The teeming luminescent.

Dearest lover, let us fall together into the sea...
  Hold me tight in your arms...

And these lips will
  Caress your watery eyes,
And bring you the loveliest
  Cloud of dreams.


Hand in hand,
  We are Shadows by the stormy sea...

Restless Shadows and the Sleepless Coventry.
