Tonight, It Rains

Tonight on the rainy street  
I saw a man looking at me,
love strive nor weep is what  
he said to me,
love only sleep when we dream
what is so wild as words can be,
I and thou in debate,  
as a bird without a nest ,
see the creature stalking
while we speak,
that is me watching you in my head
Is what the man said;
Hush and hide the talking of the night,
It's been too many nights of being without
love in my life,
Two years had been too long when you  
told me to move on,
I started to walk away as he told me to stay  
hear what he had to say,
with a charm be a man of old the one to hold  
the one who gives his soul to the love he craves  
with his arms he takes hold
and won’t let me go,
The rain is coming down why he is holding me  
down to the grown,
teach me please
what makes you run from me,
I will speak thy speech of love,
laying flesh sweet to my spirit in the hands.
must a little weep, Love, (Foolish me!)
so, fall asleep,
my Love with me.
