Poem: Wait for me

This image was used as album cover for Blind kiss by Head on.



WAIT FOR ME

I felt your ribs
when we were slow dancing
drifting through the city
with its dreams painted on the street walls
and I have mine carved in the halls of my heart
where we hide our most precious things

I felt you shiver
if your love is like a sea
I wish your thorax is full of water
draw me – love notes on my skin
till the fire burns up the bones
and you'll look for me through fountain eyes

love – till the verge of madness
I lure you with my words in this game of blindness
 we like to dress in mystery -  defining our morals
you catch me in a moment  and blind my eyes with daisies
I know your voice, it whispers
between your heartbeats

lose your lips on me
            and wait for me

  8. Such amazing use of words. To love someone till the verge of madness is something that really remained in my mind after I read this. Got to say, love is best when it is like that.

  10. This is the kind of poem, I read and wish I had written. It is so beautifully realized and says so much about loving another human being.

    you catch me in a moment and blind my eyes with daisies...

    What a remarkable line that is.
