Alabaster

Met on the shore on a rainy dawn

in late November

Speak not a word

was what you wrote to me.

Shoes soaked in sand and

a heavy coat around your shoulder,

Bird in a hand

was what you gave to me.

You stood so strong

and the waves beyond were rollin’ over,

Pullin’ me close like the moon pulls on the sea.

I wanna ride

on a road that turns a thousand corners

Two beams of light,

one for you and me.

House in the hills and inside the sound of nervous laughter,

A bed of white unmade by you and me.

Your body of stone that I touch until it turns to water

Was revealed to me.

I long to touch

your tender skin of alabaster

Shoulders as white

as the peaks beyond the sea.

Arms in your arms

and soon the room is spinning faster,

Eyes in your eyes are the only thing I see.

Love you so much

so the only thing that you'll remember

is what it’s like to be in love with me.
