dark hair, darker nights
the winter solstice draws us
together again

my thoughts scattered like chaff in the wind
dandelion seeds in a spring breeze
when you first spoke to me

"deep in thought, are you?" you ask, smiling
the cafe was suddenly so loud
your eyes so bright
life so vibrant

i smile back, nervously hesitate
(is this happening!?)
then "you caught me
lost in the urban sprawl of my mind
it's nice to meet you, i'm sean"

but before we could touch
you disappeared down a side street
lit by neon signs; red, pink, blue
and i realized you were just my fantasy

a desire, too good to be true

I'm a match
You're the fuel

Friction
A lick of flame
The kiss of desire
We burn in pain as
I light you afire
Ashes remain

Never should you mix
Fire and gasoline

Dim light
Dark eyes
Intoxication
Never did my heart feel as light
As the glimmer in your eyes
Intoxicated

Among the skies the Eagle soars
The tundra where the lion roars
Within the sea, the dolphin dwells
I look for beauty there

The azure blue and setting sun
Lit by stars and glowing moon
A masterpiece
Rivaled only by you

Fields of gold
Where the wild things roam
No place wild as such
Except the fire in your eyes

An expanse of blue and emerald greens
In which those who dwell swim free
But none as free
As your wandering soul

Among the skies you let me soar
The tundra where I triumphantly roar
Within the sea, I freely dwell
I’ve found your beauty there

If you asked me what I saw
That night that I saw you
I’d say I saw the setting sun
Above the ocean blue

I saw the sky begin to fade
As darkness took its hold
The stars above began to watch
Their gaze, a shimmering gold

I saw a star fall from the sky
A burning ray of light
It held within a beauty fair
Your beauty shining bright

I then beheld your forest eyes
The sage and emerald green
I saw inside a lawless sight
Within, you are the Queen

The wind, I heard it speak your name
The breeze, it told your tale
It whispered softly of your charm
Your skin, so soft, so pale

The birds above, they sing your song
They fly without a care
Above the clouds, you’re free to fly
You soar on wings of air

Down within the ocean deep
You swim among the fish
Alone, they give you one last chance
You’re granted one last wish

You wish to live your life in peace
A happy girl to be
You wish to find the one you love
If only you could see

But little did you really know
That standing by your side
Was one who’d give his life for you
In him you could confide

If you ever go away
I’ll lose my only love
Although I’m patient, you will see
For you, I’ll look above

From Dawn to Dusk, I’ll wait for you
In hope that you return
Though we may never meet again
For you, my love will burn

Among the stars, above the sky
  I saw your beauty there
I reached my hand out just to try
  To touch your beauty fair

The stars were shining on your face
  The moonlight as your clothes
I stood up, began to chase
My heart sped up, began to race
You disappeared without a trace
  And I was left alone

Looking up, I thought I saw
  A star fall from the sky
A golden spark, unbound by law
  A fire that’d never die

I watched as you fell to the ground
  An angel sent from God
I heard my heart begin to pound
I looked and looked and looked around
But you were nowhere to be found
  I finally gave up hope

To my knees I fell to cry
  Upon the rocky ground
From behind I heard a sigh
  A soft and saddened sound

I turned around, turned to see
  A shadow in the night
I looked at you, you looked at me
You’d be the one to set me free
I felt like we were meant to be
  Up until you left

Chasing you into the night
  I followed where you went
I wouldn’t let you leave my sight
I’d not go down without a fight
‘Cause being with you, it felt so right
  I’d never let you go

As the sun began to rise
  You stumbled to a stop
You turned to look into my eyes
  My gaze I wouldn’t drop

I watched you as a golden ray
  Of sunlight hit your face
Then you spoke, began to say
Today, right now, would be the day
You would no longer go away
  I’d hold you in my arms

Time has passed and so have you
  This memory lingers on
The words I spoke to you were true
I loved you then, and still I do
Dear reader, I bid you adieu
  I go back to meet my love.
