lover of mine
you were my one healthy habit<br>
i looked forward to each day<br>
each day i gave you my life<br>
you hold my present, past, and future<br>
your blood is now the ink in my pen--<br>
the life force flowing in me<br>
and oh you had a voice like silk,<br>
lover of mine <bR>
and your hands were heavenly,<br>
your skin was like honey<br>
i sob at your body of rotten fruit and soil<br>
lover of mine, i wish you still sang <br>
a friction of vessels<br>
a burst of warmth through the gaps<br>
you are still flowing in me,<br>
lover of mine <br>
sweet sweet sap on the trees<br>
an act of love, sticking to my fingers<br>
your soft voice still sings in my ears,<br>
lover of mine <br>
but now you belong to the clouds,<br>
you've swelled up in the rain,<br>
in this earth you will play<br>
this land is your home for good<br>
your ghostly face appears in my dreams<br>
across from my mine <br>
on all those restless half drunk nights<br>
on top of my roof, in secret <br>
never have i imagined<br>
a life without you<br>
my missing piece of my puzzle<br>
lost for so long <br>
i fear i am too fragile<bR>
to make it any farther without you<br>
and you were miserable but mine<br>
despite our distance in time <br>
but you've always fond comfort in solace<br>
and i know<br>
you did not cry,<br>
lover of mine <br>
i love you even while a lifetime away
