today, you and I

an orange bloom, a velvet light
seeping through this southern sky

as twilight beckons, to welcome the night
I wished for time to slowly, slowly, pass us by,

let us be deeper, and deeper into your dreams and mine

thoughts a floundering, they would not subside
you asked for mine, with no disguise

truth that cuts, simmered with a lie
I said, I said, all I had was just, a line
