Drunken on Our Love

Folder: 
Patrick

I read his words and see his vision

and it troubles me how he feels

that he knows my soul.

For I am and have always been

the mysterious one.

The one who stood Alone.

The expert of standing in the shadows

I'd accepted who I was

And accepted who I'd never be.

One day, walking the beach, someone noticed me

and saw in me himself

as if we were lovers from the past

reborn to start anew together.

In me, he saw love. And in him, I saw forever.

Yet uneasy and frightfull still.

Love was a boat which had sailed from my shore

far too long ago for me to remember the meaning

Strangely hurt and open-wounded

he found me on that beach

in the state I'd been for years

Somehow he had changed

the path I chose to take

Amazing me, he did something

that I'd given up on trying.

So Now I have a friend

who believes in my insanity

and sees something there I don't.

I will follow him into darkness

and we will come out in the morning dawn as one person.

So Now he is my lover.

He kisses me sweetly as he shows me the way home

off this beach of seafelt tears: he has brought me home

to a place I've never been

We will put the past behind us

and journey towards the stars

lost

but drunken on our love.
