solace


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
