Night's Embrace

with a turn of phase

I'm a symphony

a sacrifice

like a flame

to a breeze

with a heated lip

bound up to adore

and like Oliver

do you want

a little more?

here in nighttime's cool embrace

have the weather wash my face

I'm delirious

and unsensible

but I'm coming home

with my

pockets full

in the belly of

this delicious eve

elaborate dreams

that I've kept

up my sleeve

here in nighttime's cool embrace

have the weather wash my face

disappear and find my place

here in nighttime's cool embrace

there's a blush of light

in a western sky

so long to

another day

gone awry

with a honeyed kiss

caught up in the fall

crooning dogs

follow

sirens all

here in nighttime's cool embrace

have the weather wash my face

disappear and find my place

here in nighttime's cool embrace
