your handwriting

[Simon Bar Sinister]

your handwriting

in the first few minutes of the midnight

staring out at the frost-kissed ground

you come up behind me and entwine your fingers in my hair

then you slowly lead me down

how does one live life never knowing such fire?

to be not only living but alive

the heated writhing thrill of releasing it in another

to see that abandon in their eyes

if it were pitch black and you didn't move

or breathe, I would still know you were there

we're part of each other now - I feel your stirrings in my blood

and my heart as open as the air

as the air

delineate your realm with kisses

and etch your promises with tears

inscribe me with your secret missives

and take me as the first few bright stars appear

well, there's a storm inside that's breaking

above it all on high we're gliding

in moonlight's shining no mistaking

a goddess' words in your handwriting

a goddess' words in your handwriting

well, somewhere deep inside I used to fear this

and now I hope this love will never fade

I find you parading through the rambling chapters of my dreams

unmaking the barriers I've made

as a new day steals into this bedroom

lying here with you sleeping by my side

take care not to wake you as I trace the outlines of your face

on the dawn side of night's great divide

great divide

delineate your realm with kisses

and etch your promises with tears

inscribe me with your secret missives

and take me as the evening's first few bright stars appear

well, there's a storm inside that's breaking

above it all on high we're gliding

in moonlight's shining no mistaking

a goddess' words in your handwriting

a goddess' words in your handwriting

a goddess' words in your handwriting
