Rain
Rain comes down in torrents
The Blue sky with His Face warlike
tame the Earth with his wild eyes
miles after miles the gusty wind wipes away
everything that run,race,climb
Tears in my eyes,tears in paradise
Roses and tulipsweep to see me cry deep
in the embrace of reckless wild nights
Tears of my eyes,how many times
wilt it take for me to die to bring you out
in the lights that I was the only One
Knight that you did ride and was consummated
by your sights
the eyes and lips that bit me,bled me will
tell you their story
single file,single file
do not enter,stop,yield
virgin way,uncharted domain
she will bleed if you delay in your
penetration to her palace, alley
