Adrift; the Earth floats through blackest night

A blue orb in a field of stars

Adrift; two lovers float on Earth and collide

So gently, so close, so far

 

 

Fear will tear their hands apart and break their hearts

 

He pulls her closer to his chest and holds her

though he fears her

She lifts her forehead to his lips and shivers

though she burns with fever

 

 

Fire will draw their lips closer

and tongues will dance

and tears will fill their mouths

 

 

Adrift; two lovers float on endless seas

They perish; they are reborn

They sink into the darkness behind closed eyes

A tangle of hands and lips

 

They breathe in and taste each other's grief

And mend the soul

 

They rule the world today, their youth glows today

This blessed sin

They let fear fall away, change their minds today

They let love in
