My head in my hands,
Your name on my lips
And the icy winter wind
...
Oh, my Mortal Love
In the years since I began to unravel
...
I know
There’s something
In this weight in my chest
...
On this night
candles light this ballroom
drape the faces of our friends
in golden warmth
...
I write
For the love of the words
I write for snowflakes and
...
I ask the questions
And so you deny
I walk the corridor
Now it’s goodbye
...
(For you, James. You are the fire in my veins)
And so it begins again,
This dance we do.
...
Sometimes it seems
I always write the ground
I never write the stars, the clouds
Sometimes I write the ocean
...
There’s a shimmer of magic in the air
As thunder roars above
As rain erupts from the sky
...
I am only a moment
a breath
a heartbeat
a flicker of warmth
...
