Here I am still doing the same
Thinking of you while staying away
From the things that make me go
To the door; make me whole
Stop this tapping tap—tap tap
I succumb to the black and white

Foot falling in line
The hum drums from key stroke to bone
My head tilted towards the sky
My eyes fall desperately to my heart
Shoulders lift to waiting breath
Crashing into sound beneath my hands

Rising and falling on the tides of missing you
Drowning you out was never possible
This music
At once it fills and leaves me empty
You have my soul
There is no going home

Believing in what will never be
Loving in light is easy, you see
Clear in the dark of your soul its transposed
In the eyes of your lover, the lies are exposed
A romance for romance you dance but don’t fly
Too long a parade, you lie until you die
Travel alone and sweep yourself off your feet
The wind will carry you until true eyes meet
A force not a farce will be true loves kiss
And your toil through time will not be remiss
You will dance in the air he’s your stars in the sky
A romance a romance, now you can fly

Oh my friend,
Your darkest thoughts will lead you down into the deepest depths; away from superficial neon signs, promising porch lights and the mockingly blue sky. Dive into the abyss with your literary wit, pass through the pitch black; you are the light. Go deeper and deeper until you are swallowed whole, where silence is thick and the water speaks in bright white and blue hues. That is you. Pristine perturbations of pearly light, reflecting your own pools of brilliance. Don't be afraid of the darkest depths of your mind. Dive and dive until you find your light.

Blinding and beautiful-
all senses fail
obscuring ignorance;
let darkness prevail
