Time travels in our heads
As restless winds about
Dangerous thoughts wither within
As breezes calm without

In an airplane on a rainy Tuesday night, you were sitting next to me
I was wearing ripped up tights and stolen jewelry
You took my hand and leaned into me, I saw a lady walk by
She had dark lipstick and green smokey eyes
She was walking fast with her high heeled shoes, slipping off a ring
She threw it down and I heard her say, "I'll never miss a thing."
"Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seats,"
I run my fingers through your hair, blonde, silk, and soft
I hear the boy behind me, breathing hard, trembling knees
I said "Honey, lean back and close your eyes, listen to the machine sing."
You were falling asleep, I watched the city streets diminish as we flew into the darkening sky and mesmerizing lights
The city was my kingdom and the clouds were my throne
I can be your queen, we'll rule heaven till it falls
Soaring grey machines and ocean's eyes, to the gods' great home
Open up the gates and you can save us all
Listen to the machines sing
The sky will set you free

Sometimes when the moon hangs low in the sky,
I am reminded of a night between you and I
The clouds were smoke and she caused the flame
When you brushed my cheek and whispered my name
I played with your hair as you stared in my eyes
You told me a secret for the very first time
I'll never forget, walking through the trees,
You kissed me so gently on that lovely Hallow's Eve

He had eyes that held the wonders of the world.
Green for the forests, in which he loved to lay.
The deeper you go, the darker it stays.
Green for the hanging gardens, his eyes hung me.
Babylonian treasures that caught me off my feet.
Brown for the pyramids, canyons, and statues of gold.
Like a god he walks and sits on his self-created throne.
Blue for the rivers, mountains, and lakes.
He'd travel the world by plane, boat, and fate.
Blue for the Victoria Falls, the smoke that thunders,
and just like my name, I dragged him under.

Staring at the full moon thinking of a time when our love was new, tender hugs and shy kisses, wide awake dreaming of you.
Staring at the half-lit moon, I surrendered my heart too soon, knowing it was destined to lose, nothing could hold me back from you.
Staring at the quarter moon, I'm thinking of a day back in June, you sung to me in off-key tunes, I whispered back in beats of two.
Staring at the blackened moon, I'm wide awake remembering you, with saddened eyes and guilty lies, my tongue is blue and so are you.

I imagine her lips as they brush mine, impulses running down my spine.
My hands on her hips wrapping around her back in that faded denim jacket she adored.
Memories of her kissing my neck
When we said goodbye, I didn't want to leave you, I said "baby, please don't let me hurt you."
You hugged me so tight in this foreign dream

She is a flower
The most beautiful daisy in a meadow miles long
She caught my eye and we were floating through the sky over mountains of Mexico, covered with silver and gems but I only adored her
Then we said goodbye
I walked on the plane with a sorrowful face knowing it wouldn't be for a long while that I'd touch her skin again, so I memorized the sweet green veins on the back of her hands, and I loved her. Oh my god, I loved her.
When we said goodbye, I didn't want to leave you, I thought, "baby, please don't let me hurt you."
You hugged me so tight, and I remember those kisses on my neck the night before.
I turned away and I'll never forget this foreign dream.

She was a dream. A five day, Californian sunset dream, with gold hair and oceanic eyes. She was light, she was grace, she was beauty. She was the sun, and I, the moon. And together we wore an eclipse. We had what people spend their lives waiting for. The stars shined for us alone. Our love was God.
But everyone knows, the sun and moon cannot stay together forever.
