NIK S

How do you measure  

The distance of absence

Tell me

When you only left me 

with a tape of silence

 

The gentle tickle 

Over the tin roof 

A quiet rain

A summer storm

That won't bite

The infinite calm 

Of a soft landing 

Breathing into my room

 

The sky falling lightly 

On all the dreams to be 

A caress before the pillow 

The cool whisper of a summer night 

Reminding me 

It's all fine...

 

I never watch the telly

When I can watch the night...

An apple had to be bitten

A shoe had to be lost

A finger had to be pricked

A traitor kiss had to be given

The potion had to be drunk

For the story

To begin.
