Autumn

Resurrection

Autumn


another year grows cold and closer still to another year 
i take an image - a scent of us - and will it to become 
closed eyes send you back to me 
and you will never leave again
a memory of our sex has stained me 
and to taste myself upon your willing lips
it would release me 
with no regrets 
and no remorse 
the loss is imminent 
but the gain was great 
these things are mine for now and always….always 
and i would follow you anywhere 
and i would take you with me 
and i would follow you 
and i would take you
another day grows tired and so returns me to this place
lights extinguished - now all is still - i can feel you start to breath 
closed eyes send you back to me 
and you will never leave again
the torture of this ritual is staining me 
but with fervor i reach out and draw you in 
with the hope that you may release me 
with no regrets 
and no remorse 
the loss is imminent 
but the gain was great 
these things are mine for now and always 
and i would follow you anywhere 
and i would take you with me 
and when the dreams come
i would follow you anywhere
when the dreams come
i would take you with me
don't you know 
that i would follow you… 
anywhere
