Lovers Game

Lovers Games

Close your eyes to the sound of my voice
and through the thunder of a thousand cannons
you will hear it calling your name.

Blind yourself to the light in my eyes 
and through the blackness of eternal night
you will feel them piercing your soul.

Insulate your body against my hands
and through blocks of ice
it will tremble in response to my touch.

Turn your cheek away from my breath
and through layers of rock
you will feel it hot against your lips,
and musty like jungle grass.

Lovers play games of no and yes,
a quick caress, a sigh...goodbye
and why?
