Leaves & Sticks

It's time I leave forever There are no roads that lead anywhere. I dream a solitary dream, with awakening moments of being with the chosen one. He comes to me, in love, as a star With promise only of things sweet I leave him entrapped in my love For that is the way it must be We walk on eternal time Together in love He gazes ahead With me following just behind We cross over to realms only we can see There is no time, no road, no wind now It's only the illusion we so did see We merge, forever together It is but a solitary dream I awaken, being with the chosen one I dream, I weave He knows, thee

Time, through eternity In the fragrant tempest of the imperial green glass Arises a maiden allure From which slithers silvery light Beckoning a moist rose that slips under Wandering through swirls of time she Hair anointed with gilded pearls Eyes of smooth gold, laden with dust of yore Let her, oh let her be, one with her lovely Being A knight brandishing a silver sabre, rubies and emeralds The gait of a tall one, with only eyes that can sense her The warrior, the damsel, the one that only he can see They now walk a dangerous wind, of many many lifetimes To be one, with destiny Born once more in this life, as mates forever Her lonely eyes seek only him, through the fog He knows, this is the one, once more Sharp as steel, with no one to cut his threads They are bound forever, in the dusty roses of time --

In the loneliness, I sing bare A song that may have touched your Soul I look to free us from the silvery bonds of love Yet you hold on, tenderly so I awaken with a memory of a lonesome dream When you saw from me from afar But would not touch my heart You gave me pain, when there was just love You made me know, the magic of a pure love Beyond the many veils of life You showed me a sacred illusion Of a bond that rose far ahead of time Of no vows, of no touch, of no promise Only that of being True to one another So now when you walk away I will not weep, tears of solitude I will shed my skin, my very soul That breathed you I will move into a faraway Light Where you may not see me ever again So remember me O Wise Soul As you leave me behind Remember the times we shared Of love that remained true For when I enter the Light I will carry your rose and nothing more For it a love, fragrant as a dream
