POETIC LYRICS BY THOMAS LAM HSI (ANDRESS)


When...the wind blows...the skies scatter...and the snowy caps
MELT!
When...two butterflies...FLY...THE HOWLING-WINDS/BLOW!
The vectors-of...SPACE...CRACK...UNDER-GRACE!
When Andromeida's/BACK-PAINS...THE RAINS
OF THUNDER/BREAK!
Two dancers...in-their/INNER-PAIN...do-they/BREAK?
One-thou-sand/TEARS...to-their/STEPS!
WAS-IT...ONE-THOU-SAND/TEARS...TO-THEIR/STEPS?

My-two-dancers/in-their-INNER-PAIN!
How could Cinderella...and-SLEEP-ING/BEAUTY
DANCE...between-each/STAR
When the stars and-MARS...BREAK-in/the-strain-of
The crystalean-SPLINTS?
Two dancers...in-their/INNER-PAIN...do-they/BREAK?
One-thou-sand/TEARS...to-their/STEPS!
WAS-IT...ONE-THOU-SAND/TEARS...TO-THEIR/STEPS?

In the vortex...of silver-'n-blue/DESTINIES
IS-IT-GOLD-OR-SILVER?
DOES-HER-IN-NER/PAIN...COUNT?
In-FOUNTAINS-of/PAIN!
When the winds howl-in/PAIN...DOES-THE/RAIN
WASH-HER-FACE/OF-ITS/PAIN?

Two dancers...AND-THEIR/DESTINIES!
MARS-and-VENUS...ABOVE-and-BELOW!
Dancers-AMONGST-the-royal-GREEN-'n-CRIMSON/BURSTS-of-SIL-VER...
FLASHES-of-VEC-TORED/LIGHT!

Another's-PAIN-is...NOTHING-TO/GAIN!
Two dancers...in-their/INNER-PAIN...do-they/BREAK?
One-thou-sand/TEARS...to-their/STEPS!
WAS-IT...ONE-THOU-SAND/TEARS...TO-THEIR/STEPS?

Can Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty...have-TWO/FAIRY-TALES?
IF-THE-STARS...BREAK/under-the/STRAIN...THE-PANO-PLY
OF-SHAME...SAYS-YES!
Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty/EACH-HAVE-DESTINIES...
FLASHES-OF/LIGHTNING...CAN-STRIKE/TWICE!
FLASHES-OF/LIGHTNING...DO-STRIKE/TWICE!

The-royalist/MARCH-AMONGST-THE-SILVER-'N-BLUE/STARS!
FOUR/CON-STEL-LA-TIONS...in-the-dark-ness/of-PRIVATE...
BLACK-VELVET!

FOUR/DANCERS...AMONGST-THE-STARS...FOREVER-MERRY...
FOREVER-IN-LOVE!
FOUR/DANCERS...AMONGST-THE-STARS...FOREVER-MERRY...
FOREVER-IN-LOVE!
