Storms Pass

Tonight there's a longing as I gaze upon the stars
All the wonders of heaven that reach us from afar
Northern lights seldom seen for a short time remain
While the warm breeze sighs at the gentle fall of rain

The silver streaks of raindrops are reminders
As they fall on the face of an empty man
Remembering when they fell on us both
When we walked in storms holding hands

The dark clouds would gather
And the lightning would flash so bright
Then the cracking sound in the distance
Our whole world would become void of light

We opened the door to the splendor of heaven
And held each other in a warm embrace
While candles flickered on yonder tables
We drink with lust from each kiss we taste

Moments in time fleeting, drifting from minds embrace
Bound by these shackles the feelings unable to shake
And my soul cries as if trapped in some dismal abyss
My lips tremble recalling the warm breath from your kiss
