“You can swim in the sea of desire & longing, or you can swim in the sea of <what is mine>.” -S.R.
Loch Long by Ardgartan, Argyll
Where night is a crow Troubling the surface of the water
And the light of morning, is the breadth of a lover’s gaze
And the lockside mist, gives you back to landscape, I’ll wait for you.
Where headlights, are slow fish, swimming miles of cobbled river
And this cigarette’s glow, is the effortless grace of a firefly
And your troubles are bright as paper lanterns given to the sky by fire
You’ll find me.
Where the ends of the earth, are the view from the cabin window
And the past is an old song, nobody knows how to sing, anymore
And this moment, is sudden rain, soaking you through to the skin I’ll meet you.
