As it goes down
Sean^45 2000 (Limpopo)
Trees casting shadows,
horizon becomes less visible,
Tears fill pillow cases
Nocturnal creatures rise
You stand alone with a look,
An alluring look that draws me in
As I open the door I gaze at thy face
Sweetness fills my mouth I want to share
The dryness in my lips gives me a mission,
To taste yours as you do mine,
To drown in the fantasy world you rule
I want to be in that forever eternity
As the dawn draws near,
You still weary of that lust
The treasure becomes an apple
One in your lips
