Press The Squelch Button

They have tried to conceal our love,

they've thrown up roadblocks, and smokescreens

to keep us from finding each other again,

but yet we always do. Our love has its own radar.

I can sense your heart beating, like an angelic drum

through the haze, and I know you can always hear the love

in my voice, even through the harsh foul static.

 

Even when you cannot respond, I know you know

my love is always glowing, like a lighthouse in the night.

Guiding you back to my harbor of eternal affection,

where my lips never tire of sounding the horn of our happiness.

I have stumbled for women before, like a blind man descending stairs.

But I never fell, until I tumbled head first into the bottomless pool

of your beauty. The only waters in which I would gladly drown,

have drowned, only to be rescued and resuscitated by your kisses.

  

Those who do not speak the language of our love, point their antennas our way,

they intercept our transmissions, but their code books are missing the pages

that explain how such emotion can be decoded. They only catch the grand communique,

always missing the short, but ever so loving messages, that come in daily

over the teletype of passion. Feverishly at this very moment, they wrack their brains

wondering at the deeper context of our words, but their is no hidden meaning,

behind the expression of affection. Love is its own context, and if they cannot translate it

then they are the ones at fault, not us. We have our own frequencies, and wavelengths.

 

Our Love shall always ring out in the darkness, even if we have to switch channels,

It will be there, to comfort us, and relieve the ache of our longing. I already have enough

in this world. Let them have the rest. All I need is our tiny daily broadcast, all I need is...

Our love.

I am back my love, It wont be long, until I kiss you once again. It's a long drive from Edinburgh to our home, but every moment is electric, because I know I am returning to you.
