Something Peaceful This Way Comes
I could travel the lengths of your smile
Hypnotic waves within your whisper
As you rest thy head upon thy breast
Something peaceful, this way, doth hither
I could count the ways I love you, so
Upon the fingertips that lightly touch
Electricity streaming along our sighs
That collide, and I, do blush
Lost within your blue-eyed sea
But crashing waves don't foreshadow death
Rest thy head where safety doth reign
As my head, as well, doth catch breath
