Once a Stairwell
I lost myself with you here
Where the heavens and trees weave a canopy
Of silhouette and starlight
A safe haven of innocent love
To which only I now reminisce
Here I fill the void with phantoms
Forlorn moments of you and I
Almost remembered feelings of discovery
Where exhilaration blanketed us
In impulsively tossed protection
On those oppressive and humid summer nights
Sleeping in the protection of your embrace
Breathing sweet ardor
I silently confessed of my spirit
Parching that eternal thirst of you
With no care for consequence
We discovered paradises and agony
Sitting upon this crumbling staircase we once ascended
I spy the traces of the moments once shared
Pallid confetti blowing away
And stepped over in the unseen cracks…
