come with me to the river
take my hand
walk with me into the water
kiss me while we tumble off the tightrope
dividing life from death
swim with me
among the darkness and shadows
of loves murky depths
hold me for all time
as lovers have done for eons
I will whisper to you words
you cannot hear
the roar of the rushing waters is too loud
I cry tears you will never see
salty warmth, lost in the raging river
pain and sorrow
at the anger in your eyes
promising pleasures
that feed my hungry dark soul
I live and die in loves shadow
as you tear my heart from my chest
It bleeds so much that i may die
When you hold me in your arms
with velvet tenderness
lay me softly down
and love me
my heart
the centre of a cosmic explosion
shatters into a million pieces
borne upon the wings of angels
To the ends of the universe
I hear your sighs
and open my mouth to speak
but there are only bubbles
encased within each one is me
face pressed to the window
tears and joy
each bubble rises slowly to the surface
bursting in the brilliant sunlight
the story is lost
a thousand tales untold
between dreams and reality
loves illusions
it is unclear
whether i am alive or dead
