// love me, if you can…//

come love me, 

if you can

come hold my hand,

if you will

let’s walk in the misty wet rain,

just bare feet

on the roof tops

of dark and lonely homes

in the winter evenings-

when all birds are in

their nest 

ready to fall asleep

and get some needed rest

let’s feel the cold bitter wind

on our thin bare skin

let’s leave our worlds behind

and move on

to newer heights

of love and lust

let’s get lost in the darkest streets

and leave all the daily grind

behind

so far behind

where no one will ever find

us, you and I 

just let me kiss those

ruby lips

and get burnt from the heat

of your passion and sultry hips,

let me be drunk with your love

and fall down

and scattered like ashes 

in the dust 

underneath your red painted 

feet, to walk on comfortably
