Lie with me now

Under lemon tree skies

Show me the shy, slow smile you keep hidden by warm brown eyes



Catch the sweet hover of lips just barely apart

And wonder at loves sweet ache

And the wild beat of my heart



Oh, rhapsody tearing me apart



And I dreamed I was saying goodbye to my child

She was taking a last look at the sea

Wading through dreams, up to our knees in warm ocean swells

While bathing belles, soft beneath

Hard bitten shells punch their iPhone

Erasing the numbers of radon done lovers

And search the horizon



And you'll find my child

Down by the shore

Digging around for a chain or a bone

Searching the sand for a relic washed up by the sea



The last refugee
