Wish I

Was raining grey the day we met
wish I knew that flash of blue you showed me.
The next time we spent some time the day was alabaster
words got inked and stories told of sexual disaster
wish I was the wind that blows through your hair
across your skin, that you showed me.

Wish I knew the reason.
Wish I felt the pain.
Wish I lived the moment.
Wish I knew the way to stay unchanged.

Was raining red we met again
secrets bloomed the dance resumed
said to you I wish I was your lover.

Was raining silver, pink and purple
the conversation on that day
was naked, kneeling, beating, reeling,
breathing slowed anticipating
what we knew that we would do
if we were lovers.

Wish I couldn’t leave you.
Wish I felt something else.
Wish I knew the buried years,
can’t seem to find the time or tears.
Perhaps the flame’s the only answer,
rich, red blood the only cancer. 
Wish I knew what she would do
If she knew that we are lovers.
