I: Us In the sight of the land stood upon a mound to overlook A breeze to caress the soul soft as silk: a breath, a laugh, a cry Mingled with tears, the ground was blanketed emerald blades that thrived upon joy, sorrow, life O say nothing that you expected the same in soothe, you did nothing Nothing: not a word, wish or breath wasted upon mine O there might have been an us there might have been at one time In a past long forgotten, in a place we never met, in a memory never made there might have been an us II: Yours I was your princess; you my knight Could not a blade scorn such a maiden? I was your bride; you my husband-to-be Could not rain touch our wedding, all a-dreary? I was you flower; you my sun Could not a cloud pass through my eyes? I was yours Were you mine? III: Do Not Do not tell your children that you understood Do not taint their innocence with the lies of us Do not follow me and mine Do not allow the whispers leak like tears Do not veil from eyes what is to be seen Do not forget the lessons you learned upon this Do not make another feel the feelings I now know from us Do not remember this day as you walk the alter with another IV: Fire Lightest touch, like water's kiss, fled my own, my mind, my heart Lover's kiss sparks the life the feel, touch, caress I not yet known O the fire you began inside me the ache, pain, and joy you brought with a look The language of bodies taught well the price of the joining was not without its result Flames dancing about: twisting, twirling, singing chaos spreads but O the ecstasy of it all Let the world bind the body bind and loose jest and fetter soar and land Souls screeching, breath caught bearing no promise of memory on this starry night As the flames close to but one you breathe my name, locking me still As the night drifts to be slaughtered you breathe a rein to hold me bound by heart As I slip into thoughtless reminisce you tell me the key You own me, body and soul, with but a word echoing in mind and heart The fire aches so as you embrace me closer close to your heart, your touch, your heat You give the reason for this fire starting anew deep inside But do you truly mean what you say? Did you love me then as now? V: Veil Hiding, slipping, amiss, shadowed deception, stifle, censor Greater fool I was to believe that I had been the One for being of another Greater darkness I had lived to not see the truth you had given me Greater the love you borne for another Greater the stupidity I owned to love you The tiny tingles, the little smiles, the endless speech I had not seen what I should have I had lost you to another pair of arms not my own and for that I pity you, me, us The veil you cast was great my love for you planned greater Yet there was to be the tiny key you left unattended err to be human Signatures lettering my despair thee had lain with another Whirling, twisting, twirling, I died a thousand deaths then Still to be lost given up on hope to confine, I released You leave me be as the nightscape falls curtaining me in darkness hiding my defeat shrouding my love away Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness VI: Wish I wish you a heart a love a guilt a redemption a loyalty I wish us a chance a choice a love a star a memory There to be another lain with you in bed now I leave There to be another name on your lips now I forget There to be a crossing for us now I break There to be a shooting star this night I wish VII: Flower Blossoming from this lesson early learned wise now from the truth I know Taking what I had left to take I keep in place of us to warn The us was a beauty a flower, lush in life a star, special and glittering a wine, intoxicating and sweet a sun, warm and bright The end was a sorrow for flowers wilt stars fade in morning's dawn the glass falls empty the warmth leaves as winter lives And yet you say I was your flower I am a beauty who you cherish I was the soft heart to pick On the night O so long ago you asked and answered a question not lilted by voice Now I return the favor as I stand high, alone and lonely As your flower I pity what you did not now Did you not see that flowers, too, can cry? VIII: Wait In my heart there sighs an empty place In those sighs there is an unspoken dream In my dream there is a shadow who sings of a future not alone In that song there is a wish In my wish I know a special heart In that heart I shall know the love I lost In my love I must wait Wait for the one who would not scorn Wait for that same sweet agony once more Wait for strong arms to wrap around again Wait for Aphrodite's wish to send me a lover Wait for my heart to chose Wait for the pain to ebb I wait In the sight of the land stood upon a mound to overlook A breeze to caress the soul soft as silk: a breath, a laugh, a cry Mingled with tears, the ground was blanketed emerald blades that thrived upon joy, sorrow, life To know the meaning of my song that brings forth such light I wait alone so as not to be alone So I wait |
