i know
that in the morning when the day begins anew
i’ll
flourish in the sunshine as i drink the morning dew
but
until then my fragile friend let’s finish out the night
like a
rose in sweet repose that’s seeking a respite
from
the coffin of the darkness that lays the world to rest
where
those who must lay down alone feel like unwanted guest
the
life we face without embrace we seek to nullify
to
sleep with you within my arms is like a lullaby
and in
the solace of your kiss the shadows dance away
and
for a night my loneliness is not to be obeyed
an
evening rose not forced to close against the night’s long chill
let’s
drink the dew upon the lip until we get our fill
***
