Moments sweep their enchanted dew in mist
A spray of wet in mesmerize such anecdote
The only candle in the sky shines upon you
From afar I have watched this ebbing horizon
Vertical signals pulse like coronary beats
And fear is real, quicksilver in its rampage
Shooting stars of mercury flows
Hot then cold, I shiver in reply

A blind created of frustration and sorrow
First folding you into the small of silence
Then suddenly the powerful arms of escape
The waters smooth between us, clear and quiet
Your hands spread open, your body willow and warm
And fear is real, shouting warnings in its surges
Snapping elastic reflex to alert
Soft then hard, I waver in reply

My being hears described the punishing moan
Drawing my eyes, gently enfolding the tears
How strong the draw of gravity compels
My heart builds up a home to shelter you
From kindling dropped upon the emerald floor
And fear is real, quivering my fingers, rippling my voice
Drawing me in silhouette of you against the night
Flowing in my blood, to pour in ebony rush
