Desert

On this peaceful solitude I stand A barren golden area trampled by me Miles and miles and miles I’ve walked Empty-handed, broken-hearted, mind-numbed Relentless destiny, you’ve fooled me I’ve found nothing to fill my hands’ void Hearts are hobos and souls are minxes Both have abandoned me in the darkest corner Thorn me in my chest, you enemy of mine Sweet me not if a vow of silence I shall take Fur me at night finger tipped by your presence Foretell to me like Cassandra would Remind me not what my ears won’t hear Minds are jesters and tongues are vipers Both have taken me under their wings Like a swallow during its night flight would Hopeful hope rain down on me As teardrops of a widow’s mourning Running across her cheeks Armful arms, sun on me As diamonds hanging off a chandelier Illuminating a ballroom floor Alas, I wander and wander through Realworld I’m still searching for what I don’t have I know one day I’ll reach the moody skies And kiss the ground of Dreamworld, Oh silver-lining dream of mine, ever be.
