I remember the first time
I fell in love
Unconditionally
Caught up in a sudden change
Of the atmosphere
Trapped in the perilous mood swings
Of the universe
With its unforgiving glow
Speckled diamonds
Drunken beauty
The night sky,
Dripping from the solar system
And drenching the Earth
In it's everlasting nostalgia

Darling night,
I'll never know of love
If I can no longer feel you
Between my fingers
You fill the empty spaces
Like a secret lover
hidden
in bed sheets and liquor drawers
I search for you everywhere
Finding you in places
you don't belong
Like a child
in a candy store
Or an addict
in a mental ward
I find myself lost in you
But not wanting to be found
quite yet


You are the dance I'll never learn
The poem I'll never understand
The inconsistent mix of right and wrong
But I love you just the same
I'll never be able to reach you

You are meant to be free

Even when you gripped my heart
So tight
That it turned into star-dust
And scattered everywhere
On that dark canvas

I hope you can feel me too

When you glisten
With those explosive diamonds
Those brilliant flashes
Of ecstasy
I like to believe
You are signaling
to let me know
That you’re still there
And that you’ll always be there
Even when I'm not
The cosmos are all
Too knowing
But I am
Far too oblivious

So
Unravel me
Sing me your sweet song
Drown me
In your melancholy
Dearest night,
Hold me close
And never let go
For the ubiquity of you is forever
