Down by the waterside

 

As the rust shaded sunset

and copper skies

drape themselves over

the river rise

would you offer you lips

for my dehydrated mouth to taste?

Would you look into my eyes

and see the light

that is dimmed inside?

Would you watch it reignite

like a boiler

being brought back to life?

Would you offer your heart

and let the magenta waters

of time hypnotise?

 

As the rusty sky

beckons on a sultry night

and the sun sets down

into the waterside

would you offer you hand

for me to hold?

I’m unsteady on this spinning globe

and my damaged heart has grown so cold.

Would you sit and watch with me

the aura of night settling in?

The stardust scene, a majestic setting

just you and me in the midst of a dream.

Would you offer your love

like a blanket of stars?

For us to lay beneath 

and whisper our stories

to the ears of the universe

and would you listen

as the planets converge?

 

As the rusty evening

becomes a memory

and the moonlight

gives us glimpses

at her story, will you stay?

For endings

are too hard to take

when the beauty of you

eclipses the view

our eyes partake.

Would you fall into

my wide-open arms 

So I can memorise

the feeling of you

against my skin?

As we fall so deeply

into love 

whilst we let the waters

set our hearts apace.
