If today you called...

If today you called...
I'd surrender the garments of glory, to embrace the light in your eyes
That warms the forgotten recesses of my heart
And fills the caverns of my loneliness with sweet music...

If today you called...
The walls would crumble into bits of gravel
The winds would seize the curtains of my sorrow
Dissolving the years of stone and mortar...

If today you called...
I'd whisper beloved - from within the screams that reverberate
And sounds that tremble in solitude of incidence
Among whispers that engulf the valley of memories...

If today you called...
You will finally hear the words unsaid, the thoughts unread
The tears unshed and the dreams of the almost dead
In the swirls of subconcious and the whorls of the living...

If today you called...
I'd crumble and confess that you belong in the cells of my being
In the trembling of my breath, in the muted laughter
The uncelebrated rites of passage.. In the oneness of my soul...

If today you called...
I'd tell you I know; I know that I will never wear your cloak of love
Its invisibilty now stark in the darkness of revelation
Its terrible beauty a testimony to the glory of wasted lives...

If today you called...
I'd simply say nothing and let the distances grow as the longings simmer
I'd sing to you that the sun has set and the years have danced
Skipped along in exact tune the aborted foetus of our story untold...
