The moon is half a star in the sky
That glows weakly but does not shine
A shadow covers her sighing face
The darkness swallows her up in space

As for the sun, he’s brightly lit
Proudly beaming as would befit
He rules eight planets with mighty gaze
And fashions time with months and days

The moon's whole face will be revealed in time
When the sun’s strength and she have been aligned
That is when the stars will see
Her half a star is brighter to me

I wish I could record my thoughts,
And read them over to myself.
Oh! to catch the moment’s rush
Of vision sprinkled through the air.

I wish I could keep looks on faces,
And match them up to reasons,
Turn them into illustrious paintings,
And hang them up in some museum.

I wish I could save the laughter
Of loved ones by me now.
Then when time has beaten them down,
Their mirth will still resound.

I wish I could imprison music
That treks heaven’s utmost heights,
And play it in a music box
Whenever I should like.

I wish I could unravel words
That clutter shelves within my mind.
I’d taste each one to test its worth,
Toss the bad and keep the fine.

Her arm and hand gently bend, sway.
Like a starry night dance,
She tells tales through the bow and strings
The echoes soar away

Curved wood’s voice like golden waters
Shook her beating heart pressed,
Melded she and him into one
Against his rumbling chest.

it's not like that
how can i explain
that i'm ripping my heart out
with my own two hands

you somehow caught
everything that i love
and put it in a box
and called it your heart

and i feel that heart
beating with mine
but i have to pull away
for fear and for you

So Silent

is there something you remember
something in the sunlight laughing
something turning in your mind, soft
slip inside the tides of time

but i wanted you to be here
something underlying was gone
because of missing pages in my story
it was lost somewhere...something

stop and taste sadness now
something flickers like your eyes
that mean something silent
when they drift and fall on me

is there something you need
something in the sunlight crying
something living in your mind, soft
slip inside the drafts of time

drops of salty somethings somewhere
they lift my spirit lifeless somewhere
it's like a play that plays again
something you can't get right

but i wanted you to be here
something underlying was gone
because of missing pages in my story
it was lost somewhere...something

golden words are worth that much
so much i'd give for them
something, anything, take so i
i can talk to you

be silent now, don't talk of somethings
they'll pull you down to a dream
that you don't want right now
so silent, abandon me

but i wanted you to be here
something underlying was gone
because of missing pages in my story
it was lost somewhere...something

you're breaking up

it's painfully alone in here, my head
my prison, my bars, black and white all over me
it's broken, you're breaking up. i can't hear.
i broke, we're breaking up. i can't smile.

it's a senseless loss in this place, my head
your burning eyes, green and brown all over me
it's broken, you're breaking up. i can't hear.
i broke, we're breaking up. i can't smile.

and what really happened is what i want to know
in this mess of emotions i call my soul
and what do you think deep inside that heart
in this mess of emotions i call the dark

i'm friendless in this place, my head
the walls frown, they're blue and grey all over me
it's broken, i'm breaking up. you can't hear.
you broke, we're breaking up. you can't smile.

the last fight

I might not hear you
If you don't call out my name
I might not find you
If you don't hold out your hand
All this listening for echos
In the dark

I feel it every day
It's the lost kind of moment
When the rain pounds away
On the rooftop over my head
And i cry because you're in me
And won't let go

It's the last fight I have left in me
Groping for your love in this cavern of solitude
It's the last time i might look on your face
And find traces of me
It's the last fight

You might follow my footsteps
Into my dreams so grand
It's like you
To do the best thing for everyone
All i want is i'm asking
Wait for me when you get there

I feel it every day
There's a smile on your face
That i can't talk to
Cuz it's plastered on with
Paper, tape and glue
But inside there's you

It's the last fight I have left in me
Groping for your love in this cavern of solitude
It's the last time i might look on your face
And find traces of me
It's the last fight

the silence takes over the room
in silence i wait for You
take me with You, wherever You go
when i'm lost and can't find my way home

will You speak to me in this moment
can i taste You closer to me
than the heart beating within these walls
of frail humanity

will you gather me into Your arms
i am searching for Your beauty
longing for a life within Your embrace
an embrace for eternity

a thin voice rises up over the storm
i pause and i realize it's mine
it's just that i need You in every footstep
over the crashing waves of my life

and i want to live for this love
a love that never ceases or fails
it's hard to know i've never loved you enough
and that You loved me so much

your lips were stern, your brow struck with the fantasy of another world at your doorstep you looked across the fancy pages with notes scattered, sound, and touch i stood and looked across the chasm that we have built, and you my mystery, you were so beautiful stumbling over the melodies i traced your sillouette against the curtain there i leaned against your soft shadow i sighed because your fingers slipped across the keys so easily, i couldn't breathe the sunlight that was not sun fell on your head i studied the hands that once lingered in mine sleepily i knew i would give my sky to stand and watch you, shoulders shudder with the twists of your wrists and bend of your head you make music sweetly in oblivion as i make the best of your face behind the curtain yours unconsious of mine staring drinking life through the liberty of watching
