Drowning Sun Acetylene sky see the drowning sun thrash against the tide bringing down the curtain on the day let there be nothing in your way for you to seep through the cracks of my summer dreams strange as it seems, I've always and ever been setting it right picture you in perfect light reverse the image to see you walking back to me s'all I wanna see when the bell strikes five and the day is done see me swishing 'round the glass like a drowning sun Cadmium dawn see the drowning sun burn bright until it's gone clarion call announces the eveningside let love roll on a tremendous tide for you I'll always be walking the blue summer shore even in a downpour, sheltering candles like a cloak of night see you set like a light go on shimmering over this scene without pity s'all I wanna see when the stars begin to dwindle down to one see me sinking beneath the waves like a drowning sun Downward to the ocean floor where this light is heading for to turn the sea into a dreamlike vista of green bright as springtime and as beautiful as a dream envision you walking back to me all I need to see wishing upon every vague and apathetic star to trace the path back to where you are it's like raising the Titanic and just for fun here's another trick pulling up the drowning sun set it back in the sky see the light return in glory when you come when you come back Acetylene sky see the drowning sun reflected on the tide cadmium dawn see the drowning sun almost ready to move on ready for the return to glory when you come when you come back to me s'all I wanna see when the bell strikes five and the day is done and the stars begin to dwindle down to one see me oh I hope you see me and maybe only you can save me from sinking like a drowning sun only when you come when you come "Heaven is paved with broken glass, |

There is just so much to like/love about your poetry, this is another classic piece from you. I gave up a long time ago trying to pick my favorite lines. Be well soul drifter, and please don't ever put your pen down. |
