The night falls
And then
In the creases
Of your embrace
The dawn breaks,
Alone.
The sun rises
And
I yearn
To escape again
Into
The starlit skies,
Sequestered
In your embrace,
You
Holding me till dawn.
And then
In the creases
Of your embrace
The dawn breaks,
Alone.
The sun rises
And
I yearn
To escape again
Into
The starlit skies,
Sequestered
In your embrace,
You
Holding me till dawn.
