barabus

When the storm comes i will find you
if you scream my name like a siren
if you send a prayer like a beacon

but you must do something for me first

one small favour
Add this little act of devotion to your nightly ablutions
after you have brushed your hair
after you have washed your face
after you have solicited blessings for all those you love
or have ever loved

place a full - length mirror on your bed
lay down naked on the mirror
kiss the cold hard reflection
feel you breath against the glass as my breath
see your eyes as my eyes
run your hands over your body
feel your hands as my hands

will me there
between those clean white sheets

no

that is too much to ask
you must not perform this ritual every night
just on those nights when there is a storm

like the storm that blew the night
before you left
