Our Lavender Hearts
From my verandah
overlooking the ocean
I see you in a yesterday
beneath mandarine skies
shaping hearts from tea-light candles
upon honey-milked shores
I watch you pick a pebble
engrave our name upon it
toss it in at sea
and wish upon the stars
There you are,coming closer
with wind breeze in your hair
and moon glow in your eyes
I see you, feel you
feel you coming to me
I feel me,feel me melting
to the curve of gentle fingertip
upon these flaming lips
and tender of my face
held between your palms
From my verandah
overlooking the ocean
I see in a tomorrow
the last lilting waft of waves
I see a pink blush rosy hue
fading to bluish shades
I see me pick a pebble
engrave our name upon it
toss it in at sea
the sea which knows a secret
within the you and me
I see the pebble skipping
and wish upon the stars
stars which forgot our dreams
and our lavender hearts
