In love with the place we loved. |
|
Lingering to Fall AwayPou fell in love with me in Prague,washed in the excitement of constant revelation, caught up in how our bodies moved together Soft light of evening spread through all our windows A secret city, held back for centuries for you and me Cobbles worn smooth with timeless hand-held wanderings Each turn catching breath, a romance that sees unclearly, then home to throw our breath away in twisted sheets It finally settles in, this love of place and conversation Drifts to knowing all the streets, to having heard it all, hearing it again, eyes no longer pulled away from seeing us Centuries gone, revealing only you, stripped down to only me Yet with too strong a love of time and place, our hands linger, breath rises, then falls away |
