The lyrics of your soul
Pouring onto white parchment
Black ink covering
Melding with a soft
And sensual melody
Engulf my senses
Overflow my heart
With enlightenment
And run over once more—
Filling my soul
With wondrous dreams
Of alluring new chapters— penned
Into the fragmentary novel
That conveys my life
Dare I dream?
Dare I speculate?
Dare I lower my defenses
For one final casting of the die?
As I lay in slumber
Upon my pillow tonight
This melody echoes through me
Your lyrics
Your voice
In perfect unison—
With the rhythm of my heart
And should it cease in wake of morn
One word shall whisper
Through my parted lips—

The lyrics of your soul
Pouring onto white parchment
Black ink covering
Melding with a soft
And sensual melody
Engulf my senses
Overflow my heart
With enlightenment
And run over once more—
Filling my soul
With wondrous dreams
Of alluring new chapters— penned
Into the fragmentary novel
That conveys my life
Dare I dream?
Dare I speculate?
Dare I lower my defenses
For one final casting of the die?
As I lay in slumber
Upon my pillow tonight
This melody echoes through me
Your lyrics
Your voice
In perfect unison—
With the rhythm of my heart
And should it cease in wake of morn
One word shall whisper
Through my parted lips—
~ Encore ~
