For just a moment
Would you slip away with me
Into dark corners of anonymity
Could we lose the fear.
The consequence.
Can you loop your fingers in mine with the simplicity of a lover
And push aside the flush of watching eyes.
Be the steady tide in my ocean of melancholy
And wash away these familiar faces
With their poison darted tongues
Glass hearts overflowing
With the bitterness of realism and lost ideals
Can we lose our pretences
Our falsities and masks
And let our minds meet in serenity
Sheltered from a world of turmoil
From wars and tears
Outward pressures and inner conflicts.
Lets live instead within honesty and earnest hearts
In hidden tracks and secret words
Where we can speak our own truths in roaring solitude
In silent riots that enflame my heart and remind my soul to sing
In this moment
Can I be nameless
Faceless
Can I disappear into the love behind your eyes
And be remade inside the warmth of your opened arms
Can I vanish from the humdrum
From the familiarity of the accepted
And walk with you down foreign streets of passion and vitality
Hand in hand
Two beacons alight with fire
Standing tall against an encroaching dusk of normality and routine
Just for now
Can we be anonymous
Can we be unknown
Maybe then we can learn to know ourselves
