Aurora

by johnny-q

I found you when I strayed too far north sailed further than it was safe They warned me, begged me to return but I had found the sea and left the shore said goodbye to the days of yore. With my destination in sight, I could hardly believe my eyes The sky turned pink, green and violet I stared at my life through a wide-angle lens. You graced the night, you made me go blind A dancing, smiling, breathing light Your icy thighs My northern lights. Then I stepped out of a buzzing fridge eagerly awaited an exciting new age couldn't wait to tear off my bloody thorns But you just made me eat my words Count my faults Finished dreams and swallowed thoughts But who was responsible for all the pictures in my head? I never chose to be caught in your fishing net. You graced the night, made me go blind A dancing, smiling, breathing light Your icy thighs My northern lights. I tried to stay in the desert of snow but over time, you just grew cold you stopped shining for me at all resisted my screams and ignored my calls. I sailed home and left your frozen paradise and today, I saw a girl I liked and lifted my heavy eyes. She was dressed in white, feet all bare I wonder What if Jesus Christ had bleached blonde hair?
