Parts of you, and of me
Search for each other
Across God’s plains -
Skyscrapers created by man
And the mighty seas in between
We will meet in the end
We will love in the end
And when we die -
It is to the ages that we belong

The birds chatter at twilight
A calm descends as the night begins
We trace the tales the stars above tell
Some might have died in centuries past
Our hearts, in the end, yearn for the story told
By those who are with us, and others long gone

The creak of an empty swing -
Reminds me that you are gone
I reach out in vain to touch the contours of you
There’s a river somewhere, and like me -
All in the end will flow into a raging blue sea

This heart -
This February twilight sky -
Are of the deepest blue.
I will stay here for a while, to remember.
Till the 13th moon is upon me.

I hold my breath, to know who I am
I have no emotion, my tonic to live
I lie all the time, as I’m the truest
I died a long time ago, to live as a hostage

Somewhere in a city as old as time
A bus pulls away into a winter night
I stay behind, to watch her move on in time
The falling snow becomes ice rain, cold and alive
Does she watch me disappear, or I her?
She smiles at me like the moon might wane
We know the night must end this way
For the sun needs to rise to mark a new day.

Our dreams, not all came true.
She holds my hand, to take me to the tower.
There she speaks a language of our own.
Seven lifetimes she’s been my wife -
Seven more anew.
