We cannot make love
I have been ransacking you
For the answer
Side by side we lay
Not touching
Listening to rain falling
In the darkness
Where desire writhed there stands a stone
The change was sudden and complete
A serious question
We have turned out to ask
We have sought each other secretly
Strong has been the urge
To lie naked facing fear
Quietly and quickly
Our sentences blaze trails upon the night
We are mates on a doubtful voyage
Speaking sanely now
Allotting no lovers advantage
My room is anxious to expel him
He hurrie~ to be free of my feelings
We wear our words
Until he finally dresses
Looking for his shoes
He is a shadow in my doorway
You ask me why We cannot make love I have been ransacking you For the answer Side by side we lay Not touching Listening to rain falling In the darkness Where desire writhed there stands a stone The change was sudden and complete A serious question We have turned out to ask We have sought each other secretly Strong has been the urge To lie naked facing fear Quietly and quickly Our sentences blaze trails upon the night We are mates on a doubtful voyage Speaking sanely now Allotting no lovers advantage My room is anxious to expel him He hurrie~ to be free of my feelings We wear our words Until he finally dresses Looking for his shoes He is a shadow in my doorway Explain Request ×
