Rays set to illuminate her left
Making her form a black silhouette
As she twirls with ribbons in her hair

The sun gives her gold curls a halo
Giving her sea eyes more life to drown you
She turns and flashes you a last smile

Night wind blows her redolence toward you
Wrapping you in living desire
As she dances into the darkness

The moon scoffs at your loss your impulse
Passion to rage as you’ve lost her again
You storm out of the moons mocking light

Laughter sets way to the teasing sun
Seething with angst, desire for dusk
Racing to the cliff waiting for her

The sun setting behind the sea line
Then fireflies light your bitter green eyes
As they linger on the clear cold sky

Waves jump to kiss the maiden goodnight
Blushing the azure sky fire red
Out of the sun she appears dancing

She smiles, laughs and winds around you
Lingering behind you taunting you
Tying, lashing your stomach in knots

Sun reflects her alabaster skin
Fair with alive eyes and honey curls
Alluring, will crushing temptation

The sun is fading below the sea
Turning seizing her delicate arms
Only to have her slip through in fear

The waves reach wash away the left light
Cast an abhor glance atop bare skin  
As she danced into the darkness

Fireflies shed more light than the sun
Cast long shadows of her fading shape
You lunge after her, reaching her hand

The suns slow evanescence over
The moon beamed at the failed attempt
Laughter rang with you into the sea
Mud
By candle light anger flickers
Children raised by children fight
To lift them selves from ashes
Hopes and fears of a new life drive

A revolution
A rebellion

Under velvet water chains drown
Chewed free by desperation
Every old habit dies hard
All dreams are held down by something

A miracle
A spark

Light your fires
Let your eyes awake
Everything cast a shadow
Every shadow has a light
There is no such thing as fear
Only lack of adventure
Let go
Breathe

Hot wind blows down dominance
Your not needed to reach down
Try to lift us up no more
Raising our selves is what we’ve done

Our hands
Our will

From the mud a smile shines bright
Freedom playing in its new ears
No shame have they learned, no hate
New eyes search for ways to improve

A life
A love

Light your fires
Let your eyes awake
Everything cast a shadow
Every shadow has a light
There is no such thing as fear
Only lack of adventure
Let go
Breathe

The flames still glare as a passion
Chains still drown and hot winds swirl
Mud is dirt and decay mixed with
Pain and suffering, shoe imprints
Sky water

What’s left
From the ashes
From the dirt
From the rain

Comes mud
Seasons never stay green
The rain always comes
And washed the color away

The green flows into the river
Where we used to spend sun filled days
Leaving loving memory in the mud

A new season starts
Brown and grey stains all optimism
As we fantasize about drowning

Black midnight skies bring out shadows
So we have silent company
A new face to dance into the regretted dawn

We walk to the gallows
To remember all that have moved on
Tears are useless they didn't mean to leave us here

Clover covers where muddy feet tread
A green carpet for our friends last bed
Their sweet smell carries us to the river side

Transparent color flows to fast to grasp
Memories drift back
As the sin sinks and reality fades

We fall into our river
Forever floating in color out of reach
The gallows will never have us, our souls we keep

Grey and hard like rocks weigh us down
Eyes never have color to see
My shadow and I will not rest in clovers
Eyes never have color to see

— The End —
