star berry

[sweetwater]

my missing you is like a poem in itself
a fado song of nostalgia and longing

it is warm like a languid afternoon in greece
and soft with wild warm desire

tasting of love from end to beginning

and of hands held as the sun sets
into a shared starry night

[sweetwater]

itself a poem of missing you
in the song of a nostalgic longing
warm like a languid dream in the afternoon in greece

soft with the warming of my desire
from the beginning to the end
as hands held in the sunset
sharing the stars of night

[sweetwater]

i adore you like a thunderstorm
coming in from the west

and like the scent of soft summer rain

and like a clear peaceful evening
of cricket song and the scent of grass

[sweetwater]

in the raining thunder and lightning
remembering you in the scent of a soft
summer's rain

the smell of my skin becomes you

in the meadow of a peaceful ending

in the thought of never leaving you
without taking you within myself

travelling together
