Elegy for Love

4.50 in the morning Walls around me. Dreary and wrinkled The phone rings. It's you Fill all my fears with your shining water Again An elegy for love A dim light on my face, my mind covered in flames Full of unimagined darkness, heavy earth slips underneath our legs I taste the last sweetness of autumn rain Reflected on the pale curtains is your flesh Illuminated in my elusive serenity So much silence comes from your voice An elegy for love A dim light on your face, your mind covered in flames A dim light on my face, my mind covered in flames 6.30 in the morning. My dreams vanish in the embrace of your weakness Remembering a distant past we both despise
