After You Dried The Wine On My Lips, Together We
Watched The Night Fall
___________________________________________________________
Moments ago
The tide was high
Horizon was blurred
By the happy tears
That dropped happily
Into my thankful cup
Like a sacred offering
That purified my body
& soul, or
So I thought...
The day’s noise
No longer had meaning
Like now I hold nothing
Against the clock
Nothing is easy, I wickedly
Whispered into your burning ears
We labor for Life
Blood and sweat
Including Love
That takes us to
New horizons
The tide was ebbing
In silence: What are you thinking?
Your eyes asked me
....
After you dried the wine
on my lips, together
we watched
the night
fall
