Smoke settles on my lips
the taste of the salt that’s covered your skin
the hips of the mountains dressed so barren
a kiss in the moonlight to catch morning’s grin
A hint of your breath mixed with mine
a glint in the night where lovers collide
the moon ever graceful bears its light
and casts ghostly shadows through the pines
And you’ll breathe softly, softly singing
I dream of your warmth and embrace
the small of your back and curves of your waist
with hands held so tightly and wound with mine
a pause in the nighttime where I catch your eye
And you’ll breathe softly, softly singing
