|
what then is love but mourning? |
|
what desire but they self burning? |
|
time stands still |
|
time stands still |
|
and i know that this is the movement of bodies |
|
each body pulsing with its own time and power |
|
each body alone and wrapped with its own remembrance |
|
in that loneliness maroon in a stone sea |
|
i heard lips whispering complete |
|
and sent all time in the palms of my hands and my skin |
|
the need for contact |
|
shut behind the thirteen bolted doors my feet fetted |
|
i dreamed only of the orofices of the watch put there |
|
so that one may hook and twine oneself in me |
|
continually i dreamed of this confrontation |
|
and it was a dream of the most savage jealous and cruellest match |
|
time stands still |
|
though you are young |
|
and i am old |
|
though your veins flow |
|
and my blood flows |
|
the youth is moist |
|
the age is dry |
|
yet embers live |
|
when flames do die |
|
all time stands still |
|
time stands still |
|
time stands still |
|
tender grass is easily broke |
|
yet who shall shake the sturdy oak |
|
you are more fresh and fair than i |
|
yet stubs do live |
|
when flowers die |
|
time stands still |
|
time stands still |
|
thinkst thou thy fortune still doth cry |
|
for tomorrow thou must die |
