9/10/08

Naked as we came

Lies are all we have.

Shed them and things rush in
Like the subtle wave you watched grow in the distance
Or the night that crept in from the edges of the horizon
It was coming
But you pushed it to the corners of your mind

I have time

You hug and share tearful goodbyes with the setting sun.
You're knee deep in the water 
Those gentle orbs clinging on to nostalgic sunlight is straining
Wading, wading, and wading
Waiting for the fall-down

My lies have been shed.
Washed away, with arms flailing
