Your eyes are as green
as the emerald forest.
Smiling dreams of red firelight
in a burning autumn sky.
the trees resonate
the ancient mantras of time past
Cooling winds fed by
the milky moonlight
foretell the seasons change.

Golden leaves floating
in the thin air drifting like ghost .
The reflecting golden wavelets
on the pond
See a rising mist
of summers last  breath over them.

And the rush of this autumn beauty
stirs my heart
like a mother's touch

She stood facing
the fading sunlight.
High  upon a hill
beautiful and serene.
Her golden windswept hair
Glistened like a halo.

She told me
she was a fallen angel.
And her wings
had been taken away.
She said she would
teach me how to fly one day.

It was a sad
yet beautiful untruth.
She held out her arms
and enfolded me in them.
Like her wings.

The beautiful fallen angel
with the sunlit hair
and eyes as blue
as a summer sky.
the only one
who can make
my lonely heart sing

I know she is out there,somewhere.
Her eyes will fill with love
the moment we meet.
Tears of joy will cascade
down our faces.

The clock that has ticked quietly
Timing our meeting
timing the beginning
of our love story.
Will chime beautiful music.
Celebrating our love.

I know she is out there
she knows I am here
waiting for her.
We just can't see each other yet.
But we will....we will..she is there.
Just like the stars are always there
Even in the daylight
when you can't see them

A Crimson Forest crackles autumns sounds
Like a rain of fire these falling leaves
A floral carpet deeply upon the ground
The last light of summer now deceives

In her gentle breeze the summer leaves
I stand alone in sad seclusion
My heart cannot ease the loss it grieves
Was summer just a sad illusion?

In visions dark as the shadows leaves
To mourn the beauty they once adorned
To lie in rest beneath the leaves
Grieving the warmth of a summer scorned

Tonight I must forget her
My broken heart must know
No more warmth will she ever bring us
Or light as pure as snow

Tonight I must forget her
And the music of her sighs
No more her love for me will render
From the diamonds of her eyes.

Tonight I must forget her
Let my thoughts of her be blurred
Her voice that's in my memory
Tonight must not be heard.

I must forget her quickly
And lock my memories door.
Or else I will surely break my heart
If I should  remember her, once more

I knew you were not for me.
Yes, even from the first moment
that I gave my heart to you.
Such beauty is for the gods
not for such ordinary men like me

When you left me
as I knew you would.
My heart was broken
into too many pieces to
ever repair.

So I live in the sunlight
of your memory.
Sometimes when the spring
Is filled with breathtaking greens.
And the sky is just too blue.
I close my eyes and reach
as if to hold your hand once more.
Just for a moment.
Yes
Only for a moment.

Once you pressed
All the stars into my hands.
To help you find your way
In the darkness you said

Once the light from them
guided my way
Always to you
forever to you.

The gods were jealous
Of the one who could
catch their stars.
They took her away
to be one of them.

Now all I have are memories.
And a single star
That is held tightly in my hand
slowly slowly slowly
Fading to darkness
