the sunrise & the night

if hope is a flame,
would you gather branches with me?
if love is a promise,
would you link pinkies with me?
& if our story is already scripted,
would you steal this scene,
& dance with me, in a dream?
we're walking on a frozen pond
where we are lost in thoughts
of all the places we've never gone
& all the face that we've put on
but with introspection, we reveal reflections
that we never saw
like the mysteries of songs
that we can sing along with
in another language
when our tongues are candid
& languid
we'll watch the sunrise, in the night sky
if hope sparks a flame
from our gathered branches
& if loves promise
brings us all we wanted
& if we rewrite these scenes,
in a shared daydream
we'll watch the sunrise, in the night sky

the still water reflects the sky
as we wander, just passing time
& we're wondering. aloud & alive
are we the authors of borrowed lines?
she is the sunshine, & i am the night
with the other, neither comes alive
so we made a promise, to always be on time
now ticking clocks haunt us, ghosts in our mind
(ghosts)
bring me tomorrow, but don't take today
within the sorrow, relief remains
will you remember what you meant to me,
or will you dismember our memories?
(ghosts)
the still water steals the sky
& i still wonder what's on your mind

the echo & the moonbeams
03:38

her eyes, they're like ice
cold & melting in my mind
her features fade & fall away
nothing here ever stays the same
she's the echo i'm ever after
the refrain i can't retain
her whisper live here as kisses
& we're so close to answered wishes
but then the moonbeams run
& the world is waking up
as another night fades into day
it's another dream i'm left to chase
the sea is in the sky
the clear blue moon is high
we're walking under waterfalls
the mist revisits all we've lost
then the moonbeams run
& the world is waking up
as i'm repeating her refrain
the light across the ocean fades
& the moonbeams run
while the world is waking up
as another night fades into day
it's another dream i'm left to chase
she's the echo i'm ever after
the refrain i can't retain

the dance & the dove
02:31
|
|||
|
you were the soft,
blinking brilliance
of a star,
so far flung
casually embracing
the burdens of
the burning sun,
you burned as one
dancing on demons
as a lashed dove
you'd laugh & lift me
& i'd whisper sleep sweet
sleep sweet
angel, please
sleep sweet
angel, please
come dance with me
in our dreams
sleep sweet
angel, please

the sun bleeds through the blinds
like the fire in her eyes
fluttering, then opening up
oh, the wonder of her touch
reminds me i am fine
she reminds me i am fine
now when i think back on us
& i'm reminded of how it was:
the way that she spoke to me
of everything we would ever achieve
& her tone was in tune with mine
& the light in her eyes was my guide
there's nothing here like her now
i'm lost where i once was found
but it's all still inside of me
& it's all i can do to just breathe
'cause my mind isn't mine sometimes
pour some wine, count to nine, & rewind
the scent of a burned out flame
the memories we never made
everything is escaping me
i feel like a leafless tree
& my roots are buried so deep
i am trying to return to me
but i'm bound by the rules of faith
so i dive deeper into the cave
where shadows lead me to the scene
of a recurring dream
where it's all how we thought it would be
where we dance, where we sing, where we're free
& now all that's left are dreams
& they're like the leaves on trees
falling & floating away
should i chase them or should i stay
& wait for the shade of new leaves
can i be content with me
the scent of a burned out flame
the memories we never made...
