Like Burning Suns

Like Burning Suns

You and I, we should meet again

And borrow likeness as it may lend.

As these summer fires are like burning suns

That lap the skin like roving tongues

You and I, we should meet again.

 

Whether prone to break or curved to bend

Every chance beginning has an inevitable end.

So why shy away from fire fueled feelings

Or concern ourselves with changing of seasons,

When you and I, we should meet again.

 

Remember, time is borrowed, life but lends

So ignore your mother and forget your friends,

And let my hands roam round every curve

In circular fashions over every nerve,

As you and I, we must meet again.

 

Our comet streaks past boundaries end,

Beyond distant belts that shall not amend.

And I will not live my life for want,

Or be something that I’m not…

And why we, we should meet again.

 

Now keep to yourself until once more again

Under the Traxel bridge where the pathway bends,

So our secret sessions shall still be conceived

From one must take another, from another one is seized…

But you and I, we should meet again.
