Another road of distraction,
a realistic paradise, or just an illusion
leaves change colors, trees start singing
the waterfall reverses course, with the riverbanks stinging.
Animals evacuate, thunder crashes, sparks this moments life.
forcing the distant mountains into silent cries.
Moments withering into faded perception.
Born of the fruit of an unwitting deception.

Please shield me from the sky, a shroud to smother me.
It's too much like the lies, you used to cover me.
A loss of warmth, filling the spot we used to share.
Frozen in place, feeding the chill of your unwavering stare.
My love, I can only take so much.
How much have I lost, in this oh so simple touch?
Will the light curving round the bend,
Take me up and home again?

The tension picked up fast.
Mulling around in the mud; we got stuck.
Let these words that flow from fevered lips,
Deliver a minute sense of contraceptive comfort.
Sometimes it's not enough to love, to want.
Love is the last thing, for which I fought.
It was the moments that time stood still.
When the air froze in my throat, and my lungs
Strained against the cold.
Seeing you while you saw me.
Your grief matching mine,
As two glasses touch
Toasting to the totality of all time,
While two lovers fuck behind the lines of red wine.
Remnants of the death of day, and the birth of the bastard night intertwine.

Never did the distance seem greater,
Than when we became closer.
