A Walk In The Woods


Walk with me hand in hand
Through the dark canopy of yesterday
Amid the cool morning mist
Ascending the hill where the pretty flowers grow
We were strangers when we kissed 
As if in a dream of blood and roses
But we are lovers again
As we lay in the tall grass of memories under the sun
Staring into the eternity of each other's eyes
Refusing to surrender passionate embers
Flame extinguished to smoke and mirrors
Whisper what you see my love
Before the night's frigid waters
Carry us away to the forbidding ocean depths
Back to bland reality
Everlasting sleep.
