I remember the first time I slept
By your side;
Before our slumber
Our faces, merely inches from each other
Examining every perfection

So glad of my selection,
I turn away, lay my head and rest.

I hear your shuffle of body parts
As you relax by me,
The shale of your body caressing mine
I feel warm, safe,
My heart is so happy, even still

I awake, for you brushed my face
Unknowing that you'd wake me
I turn and stare
Into those oceanic eyes
Beautiful ice etched into your
Iris'; I look and see
The light of day strike through the window
Our few moments alone in the earl of the morning,
I find my deep love.
In you.

I fill my life in a suitcase
all my memories lay
headed for the higher ground
this migration leaves me questioning
will all the others be found?
I don't dare look behind me
a pillar of salt I'll be
if you don't walk with me

I'm brave, I'm for certain
that I'll make it there
we will join them
where they live care free
finally, rejoined with others
our lost sisters and brothers
come home.

It's coming around the corner
It's running, as if slithering quick on the ground
soon it's fingers
wrench the music
of our souls,
it's cold

kid's around the corner
cover in the sound
a hundred million voices
burning like the choals
it scolds

Run, run from the fear
your path is clear
you've always known
**you can never come back home.

You make me comfortable
soft, light breathing
nervous, with butterflies
within you lies
my love

For you are the stars and I
am the sky,
you give light to everything that
shines

just like your grin,
I feel crooked
good, different and unique
because I am the only being who
as you've told me
has your love

Like rain to an umbrella, you are
complementary, to me
two queer faces in a crowd
