I remember the salty taste of your fingertips
brushing my lips in the rain.
Your words were lightning upon my thundered form.

The way your eyes burned urgency into my soul
laying your claim --
how completely and securely you bound me in love's rapture.

Watch the pines catch the rain in their green arms.
I wish I could hold onto you in mine.

Send me a sign, for you are gone and I have become a desert
parched and aching for your kiss to awaken my lips
with the sweet waters of your mouth.

My Joshua arms raise up high to try to find you in the sky.
Wondering where in the sun's light you chose to die.

Unfold your wings, my angel and sweep me away like before
when I once mattered more than a million freedoms --I need you.

Let me drink your final rain in drizzle from your wings.
Let me hear you say your words in notes of old somethings.
Let me follow you into the autumn of the ground.
Let me find the way to play the music of your sound.

I have never read anything so deep, eloquent and moving in my life! Whoever you are, Tiersdin and bsquirrel, you were meant to write together! Simply genius! I've got goosebumps! I wish I could write as well as you do!

Uh .... yeh.

p.s. Go to sleep, Lyra.

I'm goin' soon, mahself.
