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.
