In the dead of night
I push back the brush to see my midnight lover
Beneath the stars I whisper "I love you"
You smile and, in an instant, it's all gone
Memories of loves past, wounds from the Winter
The one that Pierced my heart, the olive skinned Adonis
The Prince, The manipulator, all dwarfed and erased by My midnight lover
Years of torture, decades of torment
Centuries of pain, millennia of loneliness
All wiped away by you
All I have now is your smile, your words
It seems that I wait for you forever
Only to hold you for an instant
An instant of bliss and ecstasy, a present from
My midnight lover
But as the sun rises
And the dawn breaks
We must part
You to your duty, and me to my slumber
But in due time, as the sun sets behind the horizon
As sure as the seasons, or as sure as time of day
I shall return, and embrace
My midnight lover |
