Kiss me to the edge of night

Kiss me to the edge of night

A Poem by Inyourshadow
"

A re-write of Cohen's Dance me to the end of love

"


Lead me with a whisper like an evening sihouette
lead me to the moment when we light our cigerette
hold me to my promise and never let me be
and kiss me at the edge of night
yes kiss me at the edge of night
Weave for us the passion in the beating of two hearts
weave for me our bodies in chains no hand can part
encapsulate my being in eyes that see but me
and kiss me at the edge of night
yes kiss me at the egde of night

Lead me with a gesture as the moonlights breaking in
lead me without movement as we consumate our sin
lay your body softly upon my shadowed form
and kiss me at the edge of night
yes kiss me at the edge of night

Lead me to your image as I paint the night with ink
lead me to forever as upon your kiss I drink
please be for me my shelter protect me from the storm
and kiss me at the edge of night
yes kiss me at the edge of night

Lead me with a whisper like an evening sihouette
lead me to the moment when we light our cigerette
hold me to my promise and never let me be
and kiss me at the edge of night
yes kiss me at the edge of night
