Every Night
Every night,the tenebrous land of my inner existence
invades my half waking thought
Once more this sombre heart seeks you
It seeks for you 'neath the silhouette of a snow-veiled Sakura tree
against the slow rise of an iridescent moon over the horizon
It seeks for you through ashes and embers of a sky's falling star
and through mist which spreads your name on my window-pane
This sombre heart seeks you through lonely teardrops
which tread gently like scented lavender upon a worn out pillow-case
Every night,desires and illusions embrace life's reality
I make love to the wind,to the sand,to the shore where We danced
Where our bare-toes crunched corals ,and your lips brushed my hand.
Every night,your evanescent hug is carried by by waves back to me
I reach you,I hold you,I breathe once again in a numb memory
Every night,I yearn for the next blinding sunrise
to run wild,to run free in ever green fields
where dandelions blossom.and the crimson rose bleeds
Ahh,how it bleeds,with silk scarlet petals and velvets of passion
Yet it bleeds,with one hundred thorns well hid in between
Every night,the tenebrous land of my inner existence invades my half waking thought
Once more,this sombre heart seeks you
It seeks the guitar boy with those almond eyes
It seeks each wrinkle of laughter.
Its every remembrance and effervescent smile
Before the cold distance.Before last goodbyes
