Laughing Lights
Apr. 15th, 2012 01:09 amToday I spent the day with you
And wakened thus a dreadful void,
And found myself again destroyed
By love wreathed in a softer hue.
Like water, hours passed me by.
My once dry throat filled to the lip,
My wisdom bowing to the whip
With longing for a bluer sky.
You raise an ache I know too well:
From mornings lost upon an age,
Like linnets kept within the cage,
And many eves within my cell.
Fear not, my dreams shall take no form;
No quick'ning hope do they incite,
And in the journey of my night,
They are but tales to keep me warm.
On weary tides I search the seas,
To seek my life in other sites,
No longer 'neath your laughing lights,
But know you are the truth of me.
And wakened thus a dreadful void,
And found myself again destroyed
By love wreathed in a softer hue.
Like water, hours passed me by.
My once dry throat filled to the lip,
My wisdom bowing to the whip
With longing for a bluer sky.
You raise an ache I know too well:
From mornings lost upon an age,
Like linnets kept within the cage,
And many eves within my cell.
Fear not, my dreams shall take no form;
No quick'ning hope do they incite,
And in the journey of my night,
They are but tales to keep me warm.
On weary tides I search the seas,
To seek my life in other sites,
No longer 'neath your laughing lights,
But know you are the truth of me.
