Laying Amongst The Ruins Poem by James McLain

Laying Amongst The Ruins; Whom were We
Where the dark begrudges us, in all it's dim light
Crazy were we too move calms sheet apart
While each breath laid reeds upon two eyed that storm
And you played lute and I the harp too each, one cord


Know thy rocky vine etched wall lost cause we climbed
I'm still driven mad the rain exposed, your beating breast
Upon the wall I stand thus naked, just out of lust you reach
We fall, apart our hands stretched out upon the rocks below.
