Kiss Me
Kiss me until the rays aim at us
Yet we feel something
While we are still here
Kiss Me
I hate it when i need you
Then everything can be much worse …
You exhale: we have an hour
Hour
One hour
Your hands are warm
So the shot will be accurate
There will be clear circles on the water
And a thin branch I will stay to watch
As they fly swiftly down
Teach me so please
And I will be silent
Never. nowhere about this
…
I will not be afraid to be alone
In this room of colored cape
You pelerine bound on me
