Making Love (Out
Of Thin Air)
In the heart of
winter
With snow on the
ground
Everywhere to be
found
They raise each
other's temperature
If it was meant to
be
It would have been
beautiful
But they each
decided to lie
Until it was time
to cry and die
And the moon
replaced the sun
Moments eventually
grow longer
While time passes
by, unaware
They just want to
know for sure
If this should be
much less or more
Or halted
completely and forever
Do you want to
know the truth?
As the answer
hides in the sheets
There's no telling
what she knows
By the radiance
she glows, so it goes
Love disappears
like candle smoke
He searches for a
cure
As he tosses and
turns awake
Something saves
him from his sorrow
There doesn't need
to be tomorrow
But it would be
nice, for once
Sweat rolls onto a
pillow
Purposely placed
with the cold side down
A simple act
should cause no grief
So says the relief
in that belief
Be one with
yourself and another
The busy air
becomes so still
Alive one minute,
now nearly dead
Silent breaths
make up the reaction
There can never be
great satisfaction
In a room with no
light or windows
Seeing how perfect
life could be
In one flash
within two minds
Dreams happen more
in waking hours
Sometimes flowers,
but often rain showers
You're stuck in a
mid-conscious state
Their lips press
together so firmly
He is a magnet as
she is a metal ship
They sail from
safe soil to an unknown ocean
Unsure, yet
prepared to embrace the motions
The deserted sea
center awaits
Inevitability lies
in bed between them
Searching for an
escape or finale
It decides to no
longer wait
Destiny will not
be late at this place and date
The time to
reconsider has passed
Pieces of them
fall onto the floor
Each one crashing
with a thunderous blast
Skin tries to
contact more skin
As this act is
about to begin
And all their
answers turn to questions
The two worlds
collide into one
Causing gravity to
become extinct
Hopeful eyes give
way to an empty gaze
Getting out of
this maze may take a few days
It will be as much
trouble as it's worth
With the
excitement level rising
They don't notice
the third party enter
Their consciences
have become one
And both parts
have decided to run
Up to the point of
no return
Their cores
welcome each other
It's a perfect fit
as they share a smile
One inside the
other's mind
But from behind,
it's not so kind
Penetrated in more
way than one
The zenith calls
out to them
Giving
instructions on where to land
As they begin to
approach
Their thoughts
turn to reproach
Blaming each other
for their own sins
He gets off at the
next stop
While she
continues down the road
Distantly waving
with uneasy hands
Certain glands
have such harsh demands
They roll back and
look up to the sky
The answer lies in
no direction
Side by side it's
all the same
Staring intently
at the ceiling
Doing anything now
but feeling
Opposite ends of
the universe-sized bed
Silence sweeps in
to fill the room
Replacing what was
nearly created
Hating what they
have both become
Their mouths are
numb, and the word is mum
Sadly, nothing can
express what just happened...
