Moonpath

In your laugh, I find

A child afraid of growing old

And in your eyes, I see

A woman watching time.

My purple shaded canvas,

Your skin has lines of a sharp star

Your heart, mellow clay

And on your lips, a gentle curse

For the spell I broke.

Lie next to me, and

I'll be silent.

Watch the light come and leave

Buried in white sand

We will feel the waves

With the sound of grass in the wind,

I'll breathe you slow.

My wandering cloud

Where will you go?

When the sun melts

Where the eye cannot see.

Let your words be whispers

To my patient ear.

And vacant, I

Go through the needle's eye

Run my fingers down your spine

Tell you before the day arrives

On your back,

Is a road to the moon.

Upon Looking Back On All Things Past

Speak of the days that went by

Or the beauty which gives you wings

The ocean i find in your sad eyes

A heart that wants to sing.

I've always known that sadness

that beckons closer for it calls

The melancholic song of the night

Is the most beautiful of all.

More beautiful than whispers

More sublime than the rain

In her arms i find no sleep

And i find no pain.

In that cold, dark night i have tried

to shape many a different thing

To find stars fallen from the sky

And the joy it would bring.

But stars are mere pieces

they lie broken in our hands

Like the heart of a woman

Like the soul of a man.

So i return to you with sadness

that has made my mind its home

And with it i've waded through darkness

Silent, empty and alone.

Let's travel to a world pure and blue

like the one in your song

Lets start spinning and never stop

Before the season is gone.

Dream with open eyes

Chase me with your smile

And the light will cause every eye to ache

At the coming of the dawn.
