Let's Cross Tonight
By daylight our lips shared a lithe common tongue,
Till dark drew the blind for that kiss they did long.
Then fear stopped the mouth of expressional flow
From revealing emotions we fought not to show
And both wanted - yet refused to know!
That heart-sickening vacuum linked two of a kind,
Our terror redoubling of the twin empty find.
But void down inside has no form to disguise
So let's stride right across this wide main-street which lies
Between hard-to-love-hearts and their hate-softened minds.
