  • Lie with me now
    Under lemon tree skies
    Show me the shy, slow smile you keep hidden by warm brown eyes

    Catch the sweet hover of lips just barely apart
    And wonder at loves sweet ache
    And the wild beat of my heart

    Oh, rhapsody tearing me apart

    And I dreamed I was saying goodbye to my child
    She was taking a last look at the sea
    Wading through dreams, up to our knees in warm ocean swells
    While bathing belles, soft beneath
    Hard bitten shells punch their iPhone
    Erasing the numbers of radon done lovers
    And search the horizon

    And you'll find my child
    Down by the shore
    Digging around for a chain or a bone
    Searching the sand for a relic washed up by the sea

    The last refugee Writer/s: George Waters
