Two tone

We are two toneskin colours starksweat melting usinto light waves.We move too fastto watch ourselveswatching.Sunshine sheddingshadows on the carpetbirdsong and the wind,miles of empty sandbetween ourselves and eternity.What do I want from you?I offer magic gifts, Ali Baba cavesof mysteries, but you for me?A hand to hold, a body throughthe long goodnight, a heart thatsweats with wounded pride,a broken jar I cannot mendor transfix the bits to turn you into,what you should have been:can only shine a lightpoint a path paint a picturewrite a song,look into your morning eyeswith the affirming sun.
