Elegy for Love

4.50 in the morning
Walls around me. Dreary and wrinkled
The phone rings. It's you
Fill all my fears with your shining water
Again
An elegy for love
A dim light on my face, my mind covered in flames

Full of unimagined darkness, heavy earth slips underneath our legs
I taste the last sweetness of autumn rain
Reflected on the pale curtains is your flesh
Illuminated in my elusive serenity
So much silence comes from your voice

An elegy for love
A dim light on your face, your mind covered in flames
A dim light on my face, my mind covered in flames

6.30 in the morning. My dreams vanish in the embrace of your weakness
Remembering a distant past we both despise
