Comes a calling to my ears
Through open window, on the wind
Train whistle’s wailing song beseeches
Your pull of longing I don’t want to end
Comes a calling upon my skin
A coolness wraps the humid night
Sipping dew like moisture from my neck
Your kisses a tingling sultry bite
Comes a calling to my heart
Strengthened with shared intimacy
I’ve been this close to staying before
Then, a familiar need to stay safe and flee
Comes an answer from my eyes
A sigh of gentle tears
Your cradling me in velvet bonds
The trains whistle I no longer hear
