Night Lovers Lost
precious moments
few in our lifetimes
many in our love
do you know
that i feel you in the darkness
when your mind won't rest
and my body won't stop
do you know that i'm there beside you
in the dark
touching your heart with my spirit
cold fingertips on your face
head resting on your shoulder
as close to you as i can be
do you know that i listen
to your heartbeat
in a twisted world of dreams and nightmares
you are the father i lost
the lover i've needed
the friend i've died for
do you feel it when my hand touches the earth
and i call to you through these miles
when i turn on these pillows
and in these blankets
the cold sweat of heartbreak
hardly a comfort on these lonesom nights
do you know that i wake reaching for you
when i've never known your touch
do you truly know that i'm there with you
when you are mourning the distance
and dying for that final embrace
that will set us free
and make new slaves of two lucky dreamers
Betrayal
i cracked a little more
when you told me the tale
how she took from you that beautiful human gift
the physical love you tried to hold on to
i cracked a little further
when you whispered
that she made it mechanical
a duty
when it turned from joy to obligation
and from that moment till now
i have waited
anticipation feeding imagination
i have waited for that moment
when we are alone in the twilight
hazy blue glow over our bodies
staring into you
side by side
before i show you what love truly is
how a simple touch can stop or start your heart
before i give you the last secret i hold
before i give you my body
the only thing i've held back
i cracked a little more
and the wall fell to the ground
when you told me what she stole
and joy bloomed in my traitorous heart
when i saw what i could give
