The middle of the night, rain drops pounding,
Your heart beats with mine, skin on skin.
The moon’s fading haze floods our tiny walls,
Eternal content ticks away at mortal hours.
You move and my body flows with yours,
Fingers flowing over your skin like a boy
And girl playing at a summer creek
lost in sparkling sunlight reflecting off gentle laughter.
My face hovers over yours, the world a blur.
Lost in each other, transferred to a world beyond this.
Your fingers play with mine, endlessly, never stopping —
With each touch driving deeper into your own dreams.
Acceleration in the rush of hundreds of horses
Shakes our bodies, every bump felt in unison, hands held.
We glance at each other in marveling satisfaction
The blur of the outside fades away in that endless second
Our eyes meet and we fall into each other’s soul.
Curled like a puppy in my arms the day shifts into night,
Your graceful form melts into mine.
You are close, yet push closer, soaking in my warmth
My arm holds you tight, worried it could ever lose you.
Your dashing dresses flirt with a mirror unable to deny
A view that strikes my heart with every of your moves.
My heart sinks with every turn of your head and hips.
Your lips move, your question lingers, you left me speechless.
I am so lost, so lost without you.
The music rocks the city, people packed in droves.
You are by my side, the proudest man in the world.
We float through the evening, pictures of two souls
Eternally happy with each other and the world drifts away.
Just you and me - no one else, nowhere else.
The wall is cold and hallway tight,
I press your hips against both.
Your head tilts back, eyes longing, soft, lips reverberating.
My hands hold your hips, my chest pushes harder.
Feeling each other, our hands touch.
Falling into each other, we swirl through the room at night.
It wasn’t just in the sheets,
But yes, I want the lights on, leave the lights on.
I don’t want to run anymore.
Leave the lights on. Leave them on.
Embraced your tears fall in my arms rolling down.
I wipe them from your eyes, listening intently.
Hoping with each word of yours I can pull the pain of yours into me.
So you don’t have to suffer anymore, ever again.
You asked me many times what it all meant.
I was lost for words, but not anymore.
Let me send myself back and rescue us.
Yeah, I want the lights on. Leave the lights on.
I know what it all meant - and wish
I could send a message back in time.
All in the dark, it's getting late. I don’t want to go,
I know that it’s a secret but I don’t want to run anymore.
Saturday, calm and clear air, I walk up the stairs
There you are, working away. The tension in the air,
The attraction, like lightning, like electric static filling the room.
I want to say so many things to you, share so many feelings,
Just alone, marveling at you from afar, happy in your distant company.
You get out of your car, I stop, turn around, you walk across the street,
Your jacket talks of stars and spaceships.
You stole my heart in a second and I knew it even then.
And the one chance I had to keep you I fear I missed.
My keys fall into your hands, you clasp them tight.
Your look is longing and piercing with smiles.
Yes, you were right, that’s how I feel for you,
Too innocent to tell you what I really felt.
City lights flood the room when we both sweatily clash
And find a shaking union only left to the gods in such perfection.
At brunch even a table is too far and feels like mountains
So close have souls and hearts and bodies moved.
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on,
I don’t want to run anymore.
What if it all meant we were meant for each other.
In the strangest of places and the weirdest of times.
We both know it wasn’t just between the sheets.
On the floor in your place, no worry in the world, no fear.
Building a shelf for your treasure of books.
Krishna is looking at me, joking with you, watching you clean.
The world is whole, nothing amiss.
The nightly TV sounds the mystics of a kirtan
Amid sounds of admiration for the Lord of Destruction we worship
With kisses that never end, never end, never end.
In the middle of the night, searching for stars,
I hold you in tight embrace looking up.
We are lost at the beauty of the sky, hypnotized.
Your face flashes back to mine, you hold me tight,
Your eyes filled with passion and joy, burnt into my mind forever.
I miss you like Mars misses water,
Like the Earth bereft of its Moon.
I miss you like a dying river in a desert,
Like candle gasping for air.
I miss you like a shadow losing light,
Swallowed by the dark.
But then I remember the dinosaur
Did you know that ‘rawr’ means ‘I love you’
In Dinosaur?
And a laugh and sparks of happiness
Pour out of your soul and flood my heart.
Every time you turn around, my heart misses you.
