The sun can always blind you so it’s better if you choose, the deep green of the jungles’ shade with all its different hues.

The fire within your soul should not care for day or night, flickering into that eternity you wish with all your might.

Your fascination abounds with every step you take, your mind cannot let go, you know what is at stake.

The shadows that are twirling around the broken light are heightened by your senses that go swimming in the night.

The soft breeze of the air caresses these senses same, and suddenly you find yourself falling through a flame.

The flame is but a vision, the heat of lust prevails, dancing through the membranes of your mind, the vision slowly fails.

Wake up to the morning a glimmer of new hope, the naked soul that searched last night is wrapped up in a new days cloak.

I know that you are looking, seeking out the day, when everything falls into place and you can find your way.

There is no simple answer to the guidelines that you seek, the words that are between us were those that distant lovers dared to speak.

But life remains unconsumed and you are not the only one searching… seeking … longing … lonely.

So tell me now what can I give, what guidelines do you seek for I can only say to you inside I feel so helpless, so helpless and so weak

I wish that I could give to you the solace that is your aim, to take you in these arms of mine and dance right through that flame, to take you on the desert’s sands-  that lustful part conceived… and lead you into the future knowing I have deceived… but this I cannot do!

So leave behind your desert, and let my jungle weep, the tears that pass between them through the sand will seep.

And then we both can wake up to a dawn that is brand new and wish away the lives we have, the lives of me and you.
