feeling my way...

feeling my way

out of the day

into the night

where you wait in

my shadow dreams

of melted licorice

between the seams 
of soft ruby lips

those lips...

and where were they now
those lips
her lips
lips that spoke
only love
only truth
lips that held his heart
promised him tomorrow
tasted his sorrow
fondled his spirit
her lips
that had disappeared
vanished
into the
dark
abyss
of
good-bye

where were they now
those lips

the lips
of
the
gypsy

the tundra...

the sun sifted down down down

shedding spreading its raw heat
                   
but it could not penetrate
                   
the frozen tundra that was her life

without

him

the blind...

did we not see 

what never could be

did we not care
how could we dare

to be that which we could not be

you and me and me and thee
and leave behind

our fools' debris

the real reality...

I think we should look at reality, not dreams.

I just want us to be together!

I can't be your wife - Is it your idea that I should live with you as your mistress?

I want... Somehow, I want to get away with you... and...
and find a world where words like that don't exist!

LOVE RELINQUISHED...

You couldn't be happy if it meant being cruel.
If we act any other way
I'll be making you act against what I love in you most.
And I can't go back to that way of thinking.
Don't you see?
I can't love you unless
I give you up.
