An insect of summer
rests on my beige windowsill
I look out to find
an orchard filled with shadows
This pristine glow I feel
does not go well with the wilderness
With curtains closed, I still sense
the silhouettes
As I sit here by myself
listening to the industrial breeze
The interloper preens carefully;
a million eyes undress
For the life of me, I need to head out
when the echoes
subside.
Curse the refrain
Can you feel my pain?
Never in this lifetime
How could you know?
You feel no remorse
You look straight ahead
I am here on my knees
Yet you step on my head
I am here on the floor
Yet you tread on my back
You walk in a straight line
I'm not far behind
You never look back
You accelerate too fast
I am left behind.
As I look upon a starlit sky
All I can see is your face up high
Twilight stars shine with all your glory
Your radiance sings a beautiful story
All I can do is dream all night
My face is bathed with your shining light
As I extend my arms to reach out for you
All I can grasp is some transparent hue
With all that I've done, with all which I could cope
I finally sit down and let myself lose hope
But I look up slowly and to my surprise
I haven't really met my untimely demise
A hint of light breaks through the haze
I find myself lost in a spiralling maze
Like a traveller lost without a sextant
My bond with you has always been distant
Where were you when I needed you the most?
Everything you did made me feel like a ghost
Where were you when I needed your care?
Is it true that you had no time to spare?
I was waiting for you here all day long
With every second gone I grow less strong
Here I am still waiting patiently for you
Feeling the wind's chill as it gushes through
All i've dreamed of is to be by your side
So far i've failed no matter how hard I tried
Why is it you never say what you mean?
Like a ghost to you I am nowhere to be seen.
luminescence draws closer
i can feel your breeze
your song plays out;
it fills the night with music
i am bathed in your serenity
i long for your breath
with a touch, you light candles
with a murmur, you send shivers
your rhythm is that of embers burning
i am drawn to you with no regrets
lost in your voice, i lay on my back
you've taken me over, take over my mind
drown me in your sorrows, drink me like water
hold me with your song, hold my hands tonight
i will stay by your side to do your bidding
with only a wish that you stay here forever
leaves scatter in your wake; i never want to wake up
hold me closer with every word, i n
a silent breeze reaches out for you
embrace the wind, then close your eyes
let yourself go, and free your arms
drift into oblivion, let the drama unfold
hang on to me, i will not let you go
i will guide you as we soar above
feel the gale blowing at your face
hold me tightly, never say goodbye
never let go, or you will lose control
i am the shield which you will hide behind
i am the sanctuary which will free your mind
open your eyes when the storm is over
step down slowly and bring me closer
the chains are broken, i feel a jolt
an updraft commences, two worlds concede
you kissed the earth, i was slipping away
you reach your han
darque contemplations by twilight-ashes, literature
Literature
darque contemplations
these are the nights i have always longed for;
elevated by faith, separated by anxiety.
gone are the days i have always died for;
held down by knives, gathered by fate.
step into my shadow, the sun will not find you;
seek refuge temporarily in perpetual darkness.
step into my heart, can you find the sun?
would you feel the warmth at the cost of your sight?
come with me if you want to take leave;
lend me your hands and i will hold them for you.
leave with me if you want to come along;
give me your legs and i will walk them for you.
make up your mind, what have you got to lose?
get lost in your thoughts, what have you to gain?
it's partially dark in the midst of the noon,
the sky is painted white by a sun's absence.
ghostly light creeps in slowly through my window;
it fills the air with an alluring presence.
i close my eyes to get lost in my thoughts.
a picture is formed, as a portrait in the works.
dwelling in the past with so much to remember,
watching glimpses of joy; reliving the perks.
i think of everything that always made me happy,
then it occured to me; some lead to my despair.
after getting sucked into a turbulent storm,
i find myself back alone and sitting on my chair.
would i be brave enough to venture there again?
i guess it wouldn't matter
never again would i see her face;
a silent gaze that ignites fires,
a pair of eyes that sparkle in the dark,
a beckoning look that calls out to me,
a beckoning look too far away to behold...
never again would i yearn for her touch;
a delicate enigma that longs to be held,
a comfort zone of peace and serenity,
a safe haven where flowers bloom in spring,
a safe haven enveloped by winter's strong grasp...
never again would i hear her voice;
a tender song to lift my heavy heart,
a sultry ballad to strike at the core,
a solemn symphony of birds chirping in the sun
a solemn symphony lost in the razor-sharp wind...
nowhere near, no wa
you were there for me when stars were shining
when skies were cloudy, when grass was wet
you were there with me to celebrate life
we were young and playful, you were there to sing
we were there when you left for the stars
you were there when i was watching from below
we had it all, you were all that we were
one day,
you were not there
where did you go? is this another game?
why isn't it all the same?
you were always there for me
where are you now?
oh, i can see you from down here
you are higher than usual
may i come up to you?
what? your voice is getting softer
you seem to be shrinking
where are you going?
you will come bac
