It's been a bit hot round our way recently |
Sleepless Another night above the covers Another night long, lost Lost without the lovers We never count the cost The cost of unspent actions With fear in the heat Prickled, losing traction Pickled, patched in pleats Sewn up by the seamstress With spinnerets of time Webs that somehow seemed less When the sun, it didn't shine Now thick, spun through the rafters Silken in the night With thoughts cocooned for afters In the absence of some light In darkness, hot and hungry Between the sheets is stocked Just too warm to get comfy Where such delights dwell, locked Locked between the bedsheets In comfort, holding fast Zones, where pride now competes With ghosts, cold in the past But heat, that just keeps rising The mercury, it climbs With reasoning surprising Whilst alcohol, it rhymes Discordant with the beating Of hearts on different shores Every night repeating As darkness lengthens, draws Stretching out and sifting Shells shiny, spent, on show The mind keeps slowly drifting Places where it shouldn't go It climbs in time with others Tall ships at night, long crossed With nights above the covers … nights long... with lovers lost |
