Snow

She's like the trembling warmth
of the night
She's like the gentle
chill of a kiss
She takes the noise
the static of my mind
Then suddenly
there's waves crashing on the sand
Heartbeats and breath
She glows like the embers
of words like a flame
Timed like the ocean
drowning these empty games

I thought
I thought I was alone
for the ride
'til my eyes fell through you
of dreams
of songs
of minds
oh where will we go if we fall
like summer snow?

She's got her
locks
and keys
and shadows in her drawers
She's like the marking
cross
you drew on sandy shores
She'll lean for your kiss
just to see
if she can feel
In search of reflections
of the real
in all of the hearts she steals
But
she'll sink when afraid
as she tints me shades
And a brush past
her core
like whispers I've heard before

I thought
I thought I was alone
for the ride
'til my eyes fell through you
of dreams
of songs
of minds
It's only the snow
Taste it on your
tongue
Let it melt through to my soul
