two lost souls

i stare at the light
there is peace here somewhere
on the beam
or in the dancing shadows of the curtains
i don't care
there's peace here somewhere
 
                  ~~~then you move.
 
and i remember the room
with you in it
with your dark weary eyes
your dry chapped skin
and your heavy lips mumbled,
 
let us forget about the angels
who will take us fly away into the night
nor about the high heaven
a promised land to all mankind
 
we both searched the world
for the perfect meaning of love
battered and lost
so here we are now, two lost souls
 
                        ~~~the curtains wave heavily.
 
there is peace here somewhere
between your body and mine
in the air or on this bed
after so long, there is peace here somewhere
 
                  ~~~then you kiss me, somewhere.
