Islands

Five days
Underwater
Near your island
Off the coast
I know
Five ways
You were my lover
Incantation
Off the tide
In rhyme

Oh, all in the glow I find you waiting
Oh, has it been so long now?
Oh, I thought you knew that I'd be coming
The way you move, a foreign groove at night

I could never
I could never hold you

Watch it rise up where you hide your pearls
Feel the tide low where you cast those stones you wear
When no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones?
All the years I miss your warmth
Have you missed my warmth
On your island?
