A solitary lamp

...

remember that night 

of colors so bright

in darkness we lay

with a lamp giving us light..

i hated the day

but i loved the dawn

in your arms, my dear

in your arms so strong...

remember that night

of crackers and cake

of young souls and ghouls

all taking a break..

i loved the dark

i loved when stars came

but i loved it best

when you whispered my name...

remember next day

when you were asleep

i woke up long before

making memories to keep

i gazed at your lips

i gazed with sheer love

closed my eyes for a prayer

to the heavens above

but you opened your eyes

to glance at my stare

to cross a warm finger

along my long hair...

my heart stopped in place

it ceased to strike right...

you pulled me closer

with a scrumptious delight...

i mumbled and fumbled

my words were all wrong

you swirled me and twirled me

and sang me your song...
