When Lovers Cry
I stepped on soil and leaves And felt my soul align, For the night forest heaves Like his chest, so benign, Breathing deeply through trees In the dark, midnight breeze. I let him have my body To swallow and to cage In his love that can see Through my soul and my veins, But I snatched it away Upon the dawn of day. O tender and sweet dreams, Be gentle at the seams, Where the lost mind still swims. To touch the far future In my mind and feelings Is to feel the torture, A living heart's yearning, As the tears flow like a kiss; The feelings you don't miss.
