He stood to see
the daylight bring
a kiss a touch
the taste of spring
and yet he flourished
from her thought
the dieing age
of who there brought

Encumbrance was
a thing of past
a scantiness
with heart of last
yet in his dreams
could never be
a love of her
for all to see

What silence brings
to those who die
within the wanting
of a sigh
or when a kiss
has turned them in
to seek her now
would be his sin

He knew it wrong
yet in his mind
the kiss of life
in her defined
his being as
the day he touched
his wanting heart
of love and lust

She spelled it out
upon that day
your miles and tears
have no such play
and words come easy
when alone
as when to die
as being born.
