Lie With Me

lie with me 
speak with me in twisted tongues 
be my hidden breath 
awaken my souls quieted song 
longing to be sung

lie with me 
in undressed eden's peace 
in lasting moments 
under shaded palms of a summers eve
through silent early hours of wispy flakes 
in the still of winters sleep

lie with me 
wrapped in dawns brilliant ray's 
warming skin under augusts burning fire 
lost in the ache of your wanting gaze 
we unite pressed together 
heated in desire 

lie with me 
for this last escaping breath 
in this final moment 
lie with me 
set my heart to rest
