HANDS

Those nights were islands,

And i basked in the glorious waters,

Filled with bottles and tears,

And short skirts in the sun.

I used your hands as my guide,

To a far off galaxy,

Drawn on the palms of my own,

Maps to ecstasty.

I became a ghost,

A reflection of fantasy,

Swimming aimlessly from star to star,

Faces became blurred like the milky way,

And my heart was full of waves,

Crashing around bare ankles.

I kept your song in my veins,

Scared of losing the magic,

Because i never felt beautiful,

Until you made me cry.
