Anaesthetic

Your love is like an anaestethic
Calming turbulence in my heart
Kiss me once and I'll fall to pieces
Kiss me twice, light goes to dark

I'll close my eyes
To chance a dream
Mayhap I'll find you there
Alone in turbulent seas
Where hurricanes well-fare

"Where is this place?"
You ask of me
"Therein I'll find your soul"

Look to the graves
Of lives gone past
Where love was never told

I don't want to be there - dead and gone
Before you know of me
My love will stay forever strong
I hope that you will see

On this page these words will lie
Written with feathered pen
Till a suitor gazes his eyes upon
Takes me into his arms and then...

I'll open my eyes
To chance a life
Full to the brim of two
