The drugs are quick.
We laid on the beach
sand covered our feet.
Our hands and lips dying to meet.
Our bodies warm on the sheet.
Maybe it was the drugs
or maybe it was the look in your eyes.
But i wanted to kiss the lips that formed your smile.
The waves were crashing and i was falling
your name i was calling.
So you took my hand
and whispered sweet things to me underneath the moonlight in the sand.
And prayed the sun would take awhile
to make it to the other side of the earth as it ran.
The moon was on my side
it lite up our love filled eyes,
kept the tide high.
So you'd hear the waves cry
and not two lovers sigh
deep into the night.
Bathed in moonlight
i read you my poems
you played your guitar and sang.
I loved the way you said my name.
You took me by surprise
and kissed me deeply with tired eyes
and held me close the rest of the night,
trying to outrun the sunlight.
