Indescribable Blue Indescribable blue too unbelievable to be true yet here you are and here I am oh here you are standing right in front of me Improbable red an aftertaste of novels I've read I see you there deep in the lines you're everywhere and nowhere beyond my broken eyes Trains they pulse they pulse like a heroin overdose through unimaginable Tokyo town and the sun has stabbed the color down somewhere in Shinjuku my heart has flicked the switch and the night has come to twitch in my eyes like butterfly's wings I thought you meant everything to me and I was right Unlikely green too impossible to be seen Midori shakes off sleep like a feathery wind the blood of living cuts deep and she smiles like a watercolor citylove Rain it's falling it's falling like a grey bird calling out through the mists of imagination cut the cord and sail through sensation pin my hopes to the gloss that covers every living thing count the cost and sleep to dream in my heart a bell is cracking open I thought I would think about you again and I did and I did what's right Impossible white, tips of fingers smear the night into anything you'll understand transmit your code and let time slip through hands oh she smiles like a pastel morningblood Lights they burn they burn into your retinas till you learn to retain every little perfect memory of her I'd remain entranced in a Shibuya blur transmit my admittance to her grace inside my hotel room save up coupons to delay the doom tomorrow I'll be riding air back again I thought I would think about you now and then but I didn't and I didn't do what's right Indescribable blue, intercut with sakura in bloom but you can bet I'll revisit the concept of you once I'm back in my shroud of a room unlikely green and it seems Midori's about to mean everything to me.

Had to look up Midori. Now I know. What I don't know whether or not this is a song. It could be, although I'm certainty not a songwriter. Still,song or poem, it was interesting and had some catchy lines, such as . . . "out through the mists of imagination cut the cord and sail through sensation pin my hopes to the gloss that covers every living thing count the cost and sleep to dream" Like that . . . ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
