Et La Nuit Est Belle

J' ecoute,
Vous parlez,
Et la nuit est belle.

Vous disez 'C'est comme la'
Je dis 'D'accord'
Nous parlons; la heure, je ne le regarde pas.

Je regarde a vous, mais vous n'etes pas ici,
Ma coeur comprends,
Votre yeux m'avez.

Mais je ne le dis pas,
Vous parlez,
J'ecoute,
C'est notre nuit,
Et la nuit est belle.

Ground To Sky

Ground covered in leaves,
my feet cooled by the breeze,
perching on the entry to cold patio doors,
open to the unkempt garden, farway shores
call me

Why him, not me, my mind struggles to go on,
emptiness reigns where once the sun shone,
left behind, I make no sense, the eyes are filling
but I have no right, and this could be killing
me

It is getting colder and darker but perching still, I remain,
rainclouds gather and unleash, ready to wash away the stain
that cowers below; let there be thunder and lightning,
let it rage and consume me, my eyes look to the frightening
sky.

Burn Me

Burn me
Let the flames devour me
This is not life
If your touch is not within me

Burn me
Tantalise, tease
Stroke, surround
Me, stoking the fire,
Till I burn

Burn me
I am cold to the touch
Melting into nothing
So careful
This may be more than something

Burn me
Feel the comfort of my arms
Reaching out to you
Pulling you close
Eyes closed, anticipating,
Your touch.

Burn me
Before I realise
This is fantasy
This is never to be,
Just a desire, a longing, a need,
Someone else's reality.

Burn me
Softly
Caressing
Holding
In your arms
Completely
I burn
Till morn.
