Where are you?
For whom my heart beats
so silently its steady progress
Through long days
and longer nights
Watching, waiting for you
Where are you?

Cinnamon boy
In the pink boulevards
White clouds kiss your feet
In the tenderest moment
your lips as they kiss the air
Are so unbelievably sweet

I can't tell if I am breathing or not
the air is unreal
Your face in the morning is the rush of birds to the trees
The glow of gold on the edge of the earth
The fine flowing line
of silver that blesses the blue river
Kick-starts the pulse that renews my heart

(The blush of summer's dawn
that flushes your spring-fine skin
the butter-halo of light's glory
that shines from your hair)

Where are you?
Soft sweet tender boy
for whom my heart has its beat
For whom my eyes keep watch on the wide day
For whom my arms long in the charmed night
My nose inhales the fragrance of your hair
My genitals quicken and stir for you
My mouth to touch and taste your salt perfection
My ears to hear you breathing music in your sleep

I cling to you like a baby to its teddy-bear
And banish the fears, the cold terrors, the disgust
Make an icon of you on my mind-wall
Worship and adore you as I will & must
To die first if you never come
So as to warm the earth to receive your dust
