As Only True Lovers Can

How I want to secretly seduce you

from within the embers of my soul

as only true lovers can

Take in a lifetime’s heat, these words

while they smolder before the dawn

Take in my love, my all

for I know that I am home

when we melt in our embrace

Take away these aching, burning lips

with desire wet and drawn

as only true lovers can

sharing crystal dew before the dawn

Let me hold this moment,

your sweet breath slows throughout this time

with our hearts beating welcome

to this days first slivers of golden light

and birdsong; celebrates news of this love

Here an orb spider has long cast his silken nets

diligently tending to favourite harbor sounds

Salty comings and goings sway to our news

of glistening beads of lovers, damp warmth

Fishing for the promise of any breath caught

as only true lovers can, we taste our thoughts

and they smolder to flame once more

while you politely ask the spider to look away

So tell me, will we always spark

these embers deep within our souls

as only we true lovers can?

Here we live within our love satisfied, untorn

content to ride this feeling to the shores of evermore

no skies nor silken threads could restrain this passion so

On the edge of where no heart could ever survive alone

great love forged within such embers, is truely born

and in this great love heartbeats merge, a spider weaves his plans

and we melt into each other, as the sea covers her sand

oh how we melt, into each other as, only true lovers can...
