Can you catch it there?
The fleeting glance
Envelop it, clasp it tight
Can you catch it there?
Bind it taught & true
Tie it to me, tie it to you
The hay-coloured haze
Of the dolorous weight
Of eternity
Grasping at silver dust
Distilled
In the amber air
Gleaned glittering
Flickering
Shimmering
The dusk woven in &
Around your hair
Will we wander down this way?
Through groves all swept
With the heady perfume of decay
And will this wounded ground replay
The glinting of echoes
Occasionally fluttering by?
Now I hear you calling in the night
In your blindfold that cannot devise
To disguise
Oh, please don't disguise
The loving light in your eyes.

Today the sky is low
But not enough to brush or bend
These nimbus just won’t go
They drift to their own end
You could try and tell me
“This weather will soon pass”
And I could say
“That’s true”
But sooner I’d say
"Shove it up your..."
It's just passing clouds, hey hey
Yet she loves me anyway
And there’ll be sun in which to play
Just not
Today
