Let me lie in the long grass.
Watch as it envelopes our ears.
Let me lie by your side
As we hide from our fears.
When the sky falls apart,
Spilling stars like jewelled tears,
Count them out with me
Amongst the glades
Far away from here.
Soften the shadows
That sneak up to play
hide and seek with out bodies
without any say;
storming across the ocean
of seeded heads of prosperity
cloaking our intermittent moments
like shadowed waves over a green sea.
When dawn cracks the sky
marching in a new day,
and I can’t lie
any longer
amongst the green glades,
pour a glass of wine,
set a toast
and
dance the day away:
tonight I’ll be back
in your dreams,
Lying with you again.
