"A night with the Sun"
on the night
we share our first kiss...
clouds will gather to witneess
the rain that you make
(please don't drown me)
- thunder will envy the
sound from our loins...
and the quiet after the storm will
bring the sun out of its' misery...
tearfully rejoicing and say to us:
"let's make a new universe
together."
