High on the vapours
From setting alight
The joys of our youth
In their dying delight.
We danced in the embers
Until they were dimming
Then bloomed from the darkness
A brand new beginning.

Beautiful isn't,
Nor will ever be,
A strong enough word
For abnormality.
Together we're woven
Throughout space and time,
Bobbing and waving
To our own design.

Then we found signals
Exclusive to us,
We rode on the wavelengths
We mistook for lust.
Though not too long later
The tides had all surged
And from mystic depths
Our new love had emerged.

High on the vapours
But no flame in sight,
Just you and I burning
The essence of night.
Each movement we make
Casting sparks from our eyes
Which sprinkle the darkness
With stars in the skies.
