Love Like China
Crystal fingers slide around my neck in a frozen grip
Terror and sorrow dance patterns across my skin
In a spider web of delicate light
I never deserved to lay my bleeding eyes upon
Who could die to fill my mind with regret?
I want to forgive myself, but haven't got around to it yet…
Love like China, so far away
But an exotic touch, a smell of orient, and…
Blue waves lap and invisible sea
I wake up and perceive I'm still only me
Oh! But it cinderblocks were arrows
They would rip apart space and time
Might widen the path and pave it with tears
I've already cried. I will cry more
Oceans surging from deep recesses
I know they'll come as long as I
Continue longing for your caresses…
