Taking you into every breathing whisper,

lost in the ivory tones of a country chapel,

I held you tightly and touched the flowers

adorned in your hair Kissing you into me

We have walked along a broken road

That seems to keep us together,

My eyes have grown around the table

As your smile permeates every freckled face

Looking up to me

I have willed you into my senses

Casting all who I was to the closet,

cloaked to gather dust, among the ruins

Of snapshots and photo albums

Hear me creeping on the steps as I ascend

To touch the flowers in your hair

Run with me in the sunlight

So I can feel you hiding in my shadows

And taste sun ripened ecstasy

Lost in every kiss that withers on the vine

Along the broken road
