Somewhere In Cygnus

Did I tell you I have to go did you disagree did you stand there on the edge of ether once more asking me not to leave I don’t remember But this once again new life time leaves me empty searching emotions shadows constantly to end this derelict within my soul for eyes I do not recognize a face I cannot find a smile which can contain your everlasting love And I am hollow bought by a ticket for a hope I purchased long ago somewhere in Cygnus on the light of Lyra’s strings just a stones throw from Deneb with you is where my heart is beating My love poor is this stone is filled with weight forgetful and its blindness decrees I must wait for you my love I do not recall the burdened task so exacting it may have seemed and so perilous upon my soul it seems and in all my life to have missed you by only this yearning written so in my blood Do you forgive me is the time a life or written in a seconds length for what ever this task was meant to be I pray its completion come readily My love somewhere in Cygnus on the strings of Lyra’s harp Deneb wears your mantle and echoes the beating of my heart Is it only a moment a day a year maybe it feels here to be an eternity and in all my life I have become adept at only one solitary thing how to ignore this ever present closeness of you forever missing Somewhere, somewhere out there in the wings of Cygnus amongst the stars of ancient Egyptians where Lyra in her beauty sings rests the preoccupation of my heart
