*verdad

I dream of trembling beneath a piercing rain
As whirls of clouds hover celebrating sins
Of you and me and you and me in pain
Of me to you and you to me.

Dandelion globes come seeking me
With gusts of sympathetic air
To caress a heart so empty
And a mind from an endless stare.

Melancholic sunsets are what I see
They show me how a love can wait
Yet not how I shall be set free
From this world where one and all are baits.

Baits for fortune and making love;
Promises of love and luxury beds
That end up like a dying dove
With feathers white and dripping red.

Meander into dreamy moonlit shores
Where toes sink in sparkling sand
That turns out to be a dream once more
That banishes our sins to a faraway land.
