In the fragment of a whisper
And the bending of a sigh
In the anguish of a murmur
And the answer in your eye
You dismantle all my armor
Soothe life’s calluses away
By the pining of an arbor
‘neath a midnight soft and gray
As the pain of hoarded pleasure
Melts into your reckless gaze
Into pools of endless azure
I relinquish common ways
I care not for fields of fortune
Life has purer charms than this
I have touched them for a moment
In the shadow of your kiss
In the fragment of a whisper
And the candor of a sigh
I relinquish oceans longed for
I have traveled them tonight
