As I lie beside him
Under the Stars
In a world where we both
Were the children of the sky
A world far away from here…
I felt both young and old
Young.. when my heart
went frantic at his touch…
Old..when he gazed
deep into my soul
The world is a stranger
To us there
It doesnt contain a bright future
Or a hope for tomorrow
Or a promise of safety
It condemns our dreams…
The world then becomes
A pair of eyes threatening
To loom over us
Behind the curtains
The stars draped
But somehow his presence
gives me the courage
to not fear
That the curtain may fall
We are the children of the sky
And when all hope is lost
I go back behind the curtains
Where my dreams are my own
My thoughts are my own
My life is mine to judge
And my lover is mine to kiss….
