Come with me and I will paddle us across the south side of heaven. I’ll spread out a handful of stars
I left today or did I? I kept telling myself that I was going home so I could be alone

I was a sailor of broken ships Eternally lost to the sea until one day in November I was washed on a vacant shore And buried in the secret of the sa…

You smell of incense and fire. I breathe you in. Consumed – I burn in your presenc… I have found ecstasy In the darkness

So many lost among battlefields and blood spills Letters written and never sent.
You will not remember that day, that feeling of morning when we were held one to the other my laughter
A sight this winter beach all white and desolate. I guess even the sea
Like winter trees that dance with the wind bare its leaves
