Like a passion, unfulfilled.
You hold me in an ecstasy, thrilled.
And now, the consummation of that ecstasy.
In your arms,
Is all I wish from you.
In my hearts of hearts, how I pine.
To splash you with my colors of life,
In every mood, to match my rhythm.
It's all I wish from you.
If only you say yes, then life....
Can spring forth from the fountainhead...
To spew my pearls of life upon your path.

My gossamer dreams are cast in glass,
As I ford my nights in dark.
Fearful, lest my fantasies shatter,
My hopes are inflamed.
Yet I fear, lest some tempest...
Puts out my flame.
I wait for a lone yes,
To turn on the springs of joy...
In the culmination of my dreams...
In the ecstasy of your embrace
It's all I wish!

I have my Moon over my skies,
Where dense dark clouds also hover.
I wish this Moon is never overcast.
A searing loneliness,
A pacing heart,
And not a moment's peace,
Make up a wonderful story of mine,
I have only a restless yearning...
For a passion unfulfilled,
For an ecstasy, the thrill of your embrace.
It's all I wish from you.
Coz it is you I only thirst.
Take a look through your finger telescope
The world you see before your eyes is a story already told
Don't lose sight of the bright future ahead
You're destined to realize great hopes and dreams
But if you blink for too long, they'll leave you quick
Instead of searching for an excuse, get up!
Take a look through your finger telescope
Make circles with your fingers and put them around your eyes
Picture all your dreams
Imagine all the things you're looking for
And an adventure will unfold into your head
Where are you going?
Look through your finger telescope
What can you see in the space between your fingers?
It might seem far, but it's really not
Its' a promise as valuable as any treasure!
A treasure you're destined to find
BUT THAT IS FOR YOU TO DECIDE!
My mind races back and forth,
unable to keep a consistent thought.
I take a sip of coffee,
my hands tremble with nerves.

Why?
Why you ask.
I'm just waiting,
for the dust to finally make its landing on the arms of time.

When you would finally respond.
When you would finally notice.
That I am here and waiting.
Though it seems the dust is still agitated and suspended.

I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.
In sleep I dream, illusions of being awake
From the first moment to the last, of their plot.
Of it being perfect to it becoming perfection;
Eden in its own serenity- chaos,
Eden in its own confusion- bliss.
Anger clouded by love,
Passion pervaded with bitterness;
The fruitfulness of creation, their desire to destroy.
Pandemonium throughout millenniums,
The reckoning of reason throughout the centuries.
Sifting through thoughts, riding the zephyr of forgotten memories.
The taste of oceanic air, induces thee
The scent of roses upon thy skin reduces me!
The autylosis of flesh in the wilderness,
An arbituar, a crematorium- my garden.
Eden all decaying; seen, smelt and felt
Yet I still recall
Remembering fields of Asphodels
And a dream of a flower that too long ago was our ancient emblem,
Somewhere inside I am touched by this flower
And my relentless dream to feel again, what was
Before the death of Heaven.
Heaven before the conflagration; Heaven before the stench,
A Heaven of basking in fields.
Yet I am null and void of what is,
Null and void of emotion and what was
As that Heaven still subsides in me.
Elysium, the beautiful abode of the after world
Elysium with fields of sepulchre,
A Heaven of sceptre carrying angels
A recollection of a deadly nightmare
A recollection of a Heaven with Asphodel's;
The Heaven that once existed
A Heaven of which I do dream;
The Heaven of which I originally inhabited,
The Elysium in which Heaven and Hell co-existed
Harmoniously.
