in a way,
nothing should be changing
in a way,
it's already begun again
faraway,
the island I spend my nights on
starts to shed light on
what I'm looking for
cannot settle for love anymore
cannot make that my only goal
so I might lose you
so I might leave you cold,
without a single word
but someday is coming soon
when I'll slow down and feel the ground I try to float above
Blackbird
sweeping across the snow
left me a feather
and away he goes
and away he goes
drifting up on the air
but I seem to be stuck here
melting in the cold
cannot rip my eyes from the sky
cannot get my fists to unfold
the words have frozen to our tongues
that's what happens to winter love
so you think this feather is enough to make a wing
so you try to free me from it,
but your claws only sting.
i walk away
come to regret every footfall
but I can't keep you down
because you're up
and I'm frozen to the ground
Blackbird
laying pale in the snow
Blackbird
he can soar no more
you didn't have to do that
have
Swirling lines of lyrics
Dipped in exuberance
Held by captivation
Blinding with luminance
Rolling in my breath
Biting my lip
Touching my tongue—
But only by the tip
Enthralling me with fear
Instilling me with patience
Searching for a rhyme
Never-ending iterations
Labor of love
Passion in tenfold
Daring not to look back
As I cross the threshold
we swim down deep through the ocean
if my lungs burst with water
I will forgive them
even now
we stand side by side in a golden dawn
my skin burns from your touch
I won't resist
even now
when the times come to fall
when it comes to the end
I will let these thing pass
even now
like the rest
and stand out of the way
like the shadow I am
I could say the same thing in a different way
all over again
but now I'm at peace with myself
I feel like you know it
everything about how I love you
I have fought so long for this
all over the snowy ground my tracks are found
I built fires to keep myself warm
when you wouldn't
I used yarn to make myself whole
when you couldn't
now I step away from the fight
to see if I can shine by myself tonight
alone by choice
Is that even true
does anyone choose loneliness
besides a star glowing blue?
burning through water
like a murky refrain
dripping the sadness
and fueled by it's pain
You of such light beauty
Ethereal under the ethereal
Absent half smile adorned lips.
you,lithe,graceful, you
Reclining peacefully,drifting in bliss
And what of dreams?
Do you dream in blue
On which you lie
Or of vast, soft lands
Presently moonlight finds you
growing far more striking still
Bathing in brilliant silver
And Why do you smile
Do you remember perhaps
Memorys made in golden summer
Or kisses in snow
The things we finally understood
Names carved in trees
ashes of the astute by Papillon-pourpre, literature
Literature
ashes of the astute
Child of the night,
How much dark can reflect in those amber eyes
How often can two ears hear the echoed cries
Could you ever regret, take it no more
Fall down with bitter oath to cracked concrete floor
Will the dance ever end, is the music ever to stop
Or is the veil of time never to be your head atop
Grey may never reach you, nor lines ever impose
Though your great secrete to mere mortals I doubt you'll disclose
Oh try as they might, your never there's to keep
And your presence always wanting when they kneel down to weep
Wont they ever know it?, but of course you'll never say
That one small thing that some can see, that's ju
a pit I have been cast in
my own choices force me down like gravity
hands scraping the stone on the plunge to the bottom
I had not been aware that I was falling
the sky looks like the rest of my life
free and beautiful and honest
I choke on the dampness of this abyss
crawling out of love is my only wish
you go so slowly do you know you're moving?
every little trip up and you act like you're losing
but I hear it when you sing
this modest life was never your thing
in dreams you're commanding soldiers as their king
so let me take you on a trip
to make the future like you want it
together we're faster
than we are apart
and when we begin racing
we'll never go back to the start
if you took to heart every loving word I said
you'd have no problem saying them yourself
and if the two of us started doing that
I'd begin to understand you better
I'd see your burned side
we'd be sharing lies
living an eteral comprimise
but I don't want to know you like that
if you say
how about tonight
okay
alright
but waking alone to morning light
the world would turn cold around me
where would you be?
on some occasion
when we wake in the same room
I'd be happy to say hello
but not to deal with the loneliness
after you go
because I don't want to know you like that
and darling
I never did
