Just for one night


Let the moon rest.
Let our sparks


Be the fireflies...
Or the stars on our horizon.


We're more solar

In the inky green clouds...


Together

During the smog that is life,
Occasionally sparks fly about,
Igniting the air around you,
And there is reason to smile.

These sparks dance in the air
Like candlelight flickering;
An erratic, yet beautiful dance.
They touch you at the right moments.

Sometimes,
The sparks reanimate you when you go cold,
And sometimes, they fail.

But I've learned to live for the sparks,
And for the chance that eventually
They'll ignite the wood of my life,
And then everything will be bright.

Nothing hurt like
Finding you another time kissing
Nothing felt like
You when you weren't there
Making charcoal of my heart.

Nothing turned like
My stomach when I found
Your sick love letters
Half for me, half for him.

Nothing scarred like,
Leaving when I did,
Nothing broke like
The headlights on my fortune 'van'
You and I felt
Like a rope that pulled at my neck
I was leashed and leaded
Heavy feet aplod

Nothing happened when
I came back
Nothing familiar felt when
I had changed so much
From the pain
Different words flowed
From my cleaner lips
And little passed when
I saw you once more.

But we talk
But we see one another
But I turn aside
But you don't,
I see your smile
Your dew dropped laughter
Perhaps the morning cold
Froze the heat within you.

Nothing flickered when
We looked deep in each other's eyes
Nothing flew when
Words skipped between us
Nothing sparked when
You took my hand in yours
Nothing forgotten, but
It felt so good for you to hold me again.

We are made up
Of a thousand sparks
Of light that has the power
To outshine all the darkness
That ever existed.

Be not afraid
Of the darkness,
For the fire
Within us
Helps us discover
What our darkness
Has been hiding.
