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.
