When the clock waltzes with time
when it tocks and ticks
and chimes,
when it flutters this a-way
and this way stays fine

That’s when it stops

when the wind steps aside
when the moon holds the tide
in a fine night embrace,
when there is no haste, no rush
no constraints

That’s when it starts

when the liberty doves bless hearts
when the stars hold hands
to chart and harmonise time
that’s when it starts

when you touch me
with adoring words
and eyes, oh
for those eyes i will tie knots in my world,
knots that tether not and will not
not now and then not
and i trust that as i trust you,
through all else i will trust you
as i trust this beating heart.

Can you hear that beating?
Can you hear the sound?

And when i look up i can see
your face cherishing me,
and i am not afraid
i will not be afraid
i will no longer be afraid
of these heights

look down; admire the view

from our sky lit room
you show me our moon
is one and the same
and that there is no shame
in watching it shine
whilst wondering
if you watch it too

with thoughts  
of early morning sighs
that don’t only lead
to the highs of our days, but to a closeness
only explained as a blessing of fate

and as the weather whips between us
we fabricate a world of nothing
but us, and i

stop

to contemplate
my worth in my world
where the worst is easier to bear
than the best,
where past sins stopped happiness getting in
and kept me the victim

being damaged kept me safe

but you have shown me a better place,
lifted my head and opened my eyes

i believe you will leave, still
last night
i felt

beautiful.
