Their Song

a brand inside my eyelids
still glows each time it's quiet.
a tear upon a fire.
two roses among vines.

one thousand unfelt miles.
a force beyond a line.
your faces in the mirror.
infinity, an hour.

hold us in this space.
your hearths fall with the rain.
collapsing on the carpet.
hoover Adam's apple.

your faces at the back door.
open to your smiles.
to have you as my night lights.
two beacons in one life.

who made this gorgeous trace?
who forged this gorgeous place?
to guess is to waste time.
to tell it to tell lies.

but you sewed this gorgeous trace for me.
you gave this gorgeous place to me.
I hope that you won't wait for me.
but I can't help it, patiently.

to hear the song you've played,
to read the words you've lain,
to see what you have painted,
to meet what you've created.

I've seen the face of love;
there are two of, not one.
to show you what you've made.
to give you what you gave.

to hear the song you've played,
to read the words you've lain,
to see what you have painted,
to meet what you've created.
