Antidote

Come to me like waves
crashing upon the shore,
Come to me with fire in your breath
And rain upon your lips
Come, I beseech you, for I
Am no better than the parched earth beneath my feet.

Fly, fly to me, borrow time’s
chariot if you must.
Fly, fly to me with thunder in your wings and stars in your eyes
Fly, fly to me, I plead to you,
For my life is darker than
the black, moonless night.

Hurry, hurry, hurry before I crumble
Hurry, hurry, hurry before this nothingness claims my soul
Hurry, hurry, hurry for now can’t be soon enough; hurry hurry
hurry because you promised,
a drop of love, just one tiny drop
of true love will be antidote enough.
