I am loving,
a wonderfully **** you,
intense in a sudden sense
where shades are drawn,
against a coming eclipse,
Sharply showing at noon.

The light streams thin,
Hungry for your face,
In a hurry to trace,
Its soft outline upon you,
A revelation in its image,
An unveiling anew.

I find too much ecstasy,
In the curve of your sun,
Too much left untasted,
Sudden salt on my tongue,
Eyes dim unable to focus,
Shadows dance, elated,

I am much too narrow,
In the coming darkness,
Breath drawn in, a scent of you,
Skin merged, as umbra’s do
My being sensed, soon it knew
I had then just willingly
Been eclipsed by you.

Dreaming doubters of unheard words,
A wind in the trees has startled the birds,
And insects cower from cold in the grass,
But the barflies at least have beer,
And nothing to fear till the midnights past.

People on the screen
Are murdering one another
while I remain just the same
Maybe even a little bored
unaware my minds eye
Now bleeds blood red

Piece by piece
I know despair in the form of love
I know to wander as a homeless dove
before the horizon ever has its fill

In the wind I still believe
To preserve our story
in the whispered breeze
I believe in the warming sun
soft on a silken head
in naked love in times of peace
