When the Night seems long,
And the stars are long gone
Ma, you lovingly caress my hair
And you make me believe...

When the sun seethes in anger
And all shades seems to surrender
You take me in your embrace
And you make me believe

When mind seems stripped of vision
And all faith seem an illusion
You look deep into my eyes
You will the fire into light
And you make me believe
You make me believe.....

Sky is grey every long hour
It's a depressing shade
Listening to floorboards creak
Reminding of mistakes made

Ever-fleeting happiness comes to my face
Ending shortly after joy arrives
Beginning with a small smile
That only a short while survives
It's not that you aren't enough to make me happy it's that nothing is enough these days
We all throw it. Well those of us that are from or live in the south. For sure
It is all love and fun, don't let it touch your heart!
She whispered into her heart to embrace the wilderness.

The cold, dark sky spreads
Threatening to engulf the world below
The trees and forest disappear in gloomy shreds
As the sun's rays fail to show

Shadows stretch into hills and valleys
Oceans and rivers grow freezing and black
Darkness continues to rally
In a pattern impossible to track

Under the blanket of the night sky
The earth is cold and still
Bushes, plants and flowers wilt and die
In the shade the world has willed
You were like a shade of blue
A unique shade I had first encountered
You were a refreshing, relaxing shade of blue
That later became my favourite colour
So the more I fell in love with you
I painted more of my world with that shade
I was surround by that one shade of you
Because you held that comfort that I craved
But then your shade of blue
Turned my world dark and navy
Like the restless waves at night
I couldn't see anything so they drowned me
I realized while stuck between currents
That you are just one shade
Out of a spectrum of colours
I will love another all the same

Then gazed the sky and he whispered
Foggy shades in a lavender void

Gloomy glimpse on a cumulus sigh
I'll grief with you my old father

And by dusk's last glow i shalt follow
Lo your son neath your stature he stands

Thou who rules in the heavens great court
A plea to you by your earthling

Your stairway i most desire now
Let me come in the ***** i borned

Days on earth are the true flames of hell
The inferno's tales you've narrated

The eternal night of my lineage
Now i regret what i've done then my God

Overdue are these words and through shame
For evermore i will serve you

And nevermore the foul serpent
Touch my hand and revive me once more

Painting shades of blue
the tinted clouds
over the rainbow
jumped away.

Now it's a diving black swan
somewhere down the all
clear lapis lazuli blue sky.

Only one is left behind
wish I was with my butterfly!
