Your outstretched hand

Invites me from behind a glossy coat

I wish I could grasp it

And never let go

You’d pull me into

A haze of sweet nothings

Heavy riffs and stolen kisses

Love across the amplifiers

Rough, against the walls

Euphoric madness intermingled

With intoxicating waves of passion

There’s no curtain call

For there’s no end to the rush

And the music never ceases

And I’ll remain eternally besotted

By your black waves and emerald gaze

Reality becomes but a relic

Temptation caresses me

Like an old lover after too much wine

As I gaze at your outstretched hand

With a familiar smile

Ghosting my face

I set you down as the raindrops fell

And left your outstretched hand behind
