UNDER CONSTRUCTION

 

The previous week

and he was demolished...
 

A wave of destruction

that left them abolished...
 

And the light in his eyes

is pain sheened in laughter...
 

That light in the darkness

could lead to disaster...
 

But that light reminds me;

combines us together...
 

Commonality comforts;

so hard to surrender...
 

And the sound of his songs

and the taste of his lips...
 

The touch of his hand

wrapped in my fingertips...
 

And the way that he smiled

with such controversy...
 

For Bauhaus and Siouxie

and Sisters of Mercy...
 

The way that he watched me

and wanted and waited...
 

The curves of his lips

left my own fear abated...
 

We were both still destroyed

yet acknowledged and known...
 

For that moment the lonely

learned they weren't alone...
 

He gave me that magic

and time somersaulted...
 

Wave of destruction;

enraptured and halted...
 

True we're destroyed

and under construction...
 

Yet can't help but smile

at our introduction.
