There was a song I had long forgotten
or not forgotten but locked away.
Your carelessly hummed tune
caused my heart to wake.
caused my heart to wake.
Your touch, your eyes, your knowing smile.
You always know the end of every game we play.
You won my heart with your gaze.
Your eyes are life
Of green growing things and faerie dreams
Your smile lifts my heart strings.
These days,
All I long for is to touch your face.
To bathe your tresses and
run fingers through.
My desires lie above.
My desire is you.
Those days,
I only stayed above water.
Any deep depth chilled
& caused bones to shake.
Those days,
I could not meet your eyes.
Those days in the past,
I told only lies;
Go away I don’t want you do not speak to me
These days, I fear
-but fear is nothing new to me
I will drown in fear if it will bring me closer to you, as
A day without you is what I have grown used to.
But nothing need remain the same.
Nothing gold or black can stay.
We can try to be close again.
Your song opens me through and through
I know you KNOW me
As I KNOW you.
We are foolish to deny it, to fight or hide it.
Do you not understand yet?
This song between us, in our bones and souls
Is not one long forgotten or denied.
We can ignore and hope it fades,
But life’s shores bring us to each other’s doors.
The wind carries our songs to each other’s ears, and
The bubbling rushing river carries our dreams and fears.
Our hearts ache when the other’s in pain.
But black hearts will part.
Only love remains.
