My sentiments exactly
I was born under my stars
you were born under yours
and though we share
the same universe
there are still silences between us
that stretch out across space
my quietness and yours
imponderable
as cracked autumn leaves
tumble through the galaxy
If we dig deep enough
we will hit upon
pockets of the past
your childhood and mine
our parents now long gone
dreams that are ripe
for resurrection
the lust for love
In Spitalfields market
I bought black leather gloves
to keep my fingers warm
those fingers
that know your body
so well
When you blush
your blood vessels fill with desire
I can read your face
like the back of my hand
Never forget that we share
the same minerals
nor that the shadows
that trailed behind us
on the edges of the Grand Canal
will be there for all eternity
I own the light in your eyes
just as you own the light in mine
: we are a constellation of two
our nights know no darkness
John Lyons
