Our love
A short fall
Spilled from insurmountable heights
I have been brought here
Time and time again,
To follow my longings call.
A shout that bursts,
Through the silence of unmeaning.
To find you,
Betwixt the waves
I'm falling from you,
In the midst of what we hold.
No promise of will,
Can save us from growing old.
And we'll sleep,
Through this dream.
To forsake,
The foreseen.
All of this has been decided,
Long before you were born.
Pass with care my patient lover,
From this life you will be torn.
I heard it from the birds,
In the hours of crawling dawn.
That what may be lost with the flesh,
Finds its way to return.
And we'll stain our teeth,
In the reds of the fleeting sun.
An end in heat,
My bones ache beneath your love
