I steal a kiss in the dead of the night
dont even wake you to tell you you're beautiful
just drag my weathered bones off at first light
to do my duty because you are dutiful.
And in the evening you'll wash my feet
and conjure up some miracle for me to eat
sweeter than the sweetest song
with which you soothe me all night long.
I watch the city fly by me at day break
growing weary with each further mile
clench my teeth at the muscles that may ache
yet find solace in the magic of your smile
For in the evening you'll cleanse my eyes
and wipe my torso, my legs and my thighs
you'll be sweet as the sweetest song
with which you soothe me all night long.
I drench my shirt in exhaustion and sweat
crushing blistering rocks, choking on sand
my thoughts travel so i can forget
travel to the sanctuary of your hand
In the evening you'll rub my back
comforting me with what the day lacked
then i will listen to your song
with which you soothe me all night long.
You wont ask how my day was spent
for i'll understand how your long day went
laying in each other, this is all we'll do:
whisper together of the world i build you.
In the evenings' the only time i'll truly live
savouring each moment with my sole friend
and right before i'm consumed in the care you give
there'll rise that unfriendly foe once again.

sweet post!!!
Wait a minute, the first paragraph was a blast....Read it and you will know just good it is,....
i don't want to be a party booper here BUT wouldn't both the guy and girl be too tired to massage feet and all that after such a soul destroying day? oh wait, this is what they call poetic licence.
That's the African hubby in Kikubamutwe village. Lord help you if he carries that ego overseas
And who's the foe, pray tell?
oh shoot! i was thinking in the technical terms of all getting into the mood for love...Eddie was spot on about that first line and whole thing when he slips off while she's still sleeping(at least i still think its a she)...that was beautiful...its supposed to be cliched by now but still here it was not...the kiss in the night on the loved one i mean.
and then the man being far away toiling away and thinking all this is worth it because she is home and when i see her it will make all this seem like it was nothing just to see her smile and laugh and ear well.
as you can see...i'm becoming teary!
whose this i see up there in the profile? taking a dose of his own preaching against anonymity?
*Speechless*
