She was walking down the hall when she heard a muted
mental voice singing softly...
*****
SO A CROWD HAS GATHERED 'ROUND US
I'M PINING ONE LAST KISS
I'M STRUGGLING WITH THIS LIFELINE
IN THE SHADOW OF THIS BLISS
PATINCE MY LOVE
PATINCE MY LOVE IT WILL ALL BE ALRIGHT
*****
... She let the music's haze guide her down the steps and to the
doorway at their end. She opened the door to find the singer sitting,
angled in an easychair, with his guitar in his arms and one foot proped
up on the amplifier.
He looked up at her questioningly. His mental voice ringing through
her mind...
*****
BUT AIN'T IT FUNNY HOW THE FATES WORK
I FEEL CHEATED BY THE TURN
STILL THIS LOVE IT HOVERS OVER US
AND THE LESSONS THAT WE'VE LEARNED
PATIENCE MY LOVE...
PATIENCE MY LOVE...
*****
... He felt an intense wave of emotion as he saw her enter his
room. A need so deep it was frighting, threatened to pull him under.
He set down his guitar and stood up. As he walked towards her, he
felt his missing peaces begin to reform. Oddly he didn't seem surprised
as she reached up and undid the bandages that had separated them for so
long...
*****
WITH YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
YOU'RE SINGING SOFTLY
AND I FADE FROM MEMORIES
AND MOVE ON
*****
... He held her tightly to him as they kissed, not only with their
bodies, but with their minds as well. They made their way towards the couch
never separated for an instant...
*****
WE WERE LOST INSIDE A WASTELAND
OF FOOLS GROPING FOR THE GOLD
I WONDER IF THEY'LL THINK OF US
WHILE THEY'RE SEARCHING FOR THEIR SOULS
PATINCE MY LOVE...
PATINCE MY LOVE...
*****
... Their minds continued the embrace their bodies had begun,
bringing it to a conclusion of blinding light...
*****
WITH YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
YOU'RE SINGING SOFTLY
AND I FADE FROM MEMORY
AND MOVE ON
MAY NOTHING HARM YOU
I'M STILL INSIDE YOU
WITH MY WINGS AROUND YOU
YOU'LL GO ON
*****
... He felt her body relax aganst him as he instinctivly held her
tighter. She had begun to drift into a deep sleep, when he closed his
eyes and began to sing...
"SO NEVER PUT IT OUT MY LOVE
THE SPERIT IS A FLAME THAT BURNS WITHIN
HOLD ON TO IT
AND IT'LL ALL WORK OUT FINE
SLEEP NOW IS DECENDING LIKE A DREAM
STILL I'M SHAKING FROM THE SOFTNESS OF YOUR SKIN
HOLD ON TO ME LOVE
AND MAKE IT ALL FEEL ALRIGHT
WITH YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
YOU'RE SINGING SOFTLY
AND I FADE FROM MEMORIES
AND MOVE ON
MAY NOTHING HARM YOU
I'M STILL INSIDE YOU
WITH MY WINGS AROUND YOU
YOU'LL GO ON
WITH YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
YOU'RE SINGING SOFTLY
AND I FADE FROM MEMORY
AND MOVE ON
SWEET LOVER GO ON...
SWEET LOVER GO ON...
OUR LOVE IS STRONG."
Then he baried his face in her hair and swiftly drifted to sleep.
