The sun awaits
just beyond the horizon.
Time gets scarcer
as it bathes us
in its glow.
And our bodies can only
afford to
crumble to dust.

All that we know,
what we knew,
will only be cast...
Imprisoned.
Within the tight confines
of expiring memory.

We must pave a way
to a secret place.
A route to safety...
One that we could share.
Somewhere only we know.

I'll go to this place
where no one can.
I'll wait and anticipate
your arrival at this place...
A place only we know.
Inspired by Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know"

Warmth engulfs my body
Neath the vast sky
Luminous and balmy
At peace I lie
Smell of autumn in the air
A beautiful painting of hues
To tell of my secret lair
Remain mine, seclude

Atop this swinging bench
A foot sways me to sleep
Feeling the pull, a trench
My bones now a heap
A dream that feels true
Your face unseen
Needing the embrace of you
Caught in between

As I wake from slumber
Loss upon my heart
To meet again my lover
All but a dream apart

— The End —
