Esque's Languishing

What to say to perfection?
My words are caught in a waterfall
Inspiring inception's rush on silently
Just breathe let love succeed,
let love succeed but I want and need
Piercing the beautifully sublime
Eyes are shutting moments before Xanadu
Awaking’s languish in time
The fire reduces to ashes
and flames leap upward,
as words flow into nothingness
while songs of yesteryears disappear
Wavering upon the smoke of disillusion,
as then the sparks flicker upon the water
Ripped from the lucid dream of anotherday
I was daydreaming, while I feel asleep
Strange, how inverted thoughts slip away,
when you wake to an empty page
