Sweet Infinity

Infinity beckons taunting Beyond the mortal ridge For time enough to really live Those longings yet to bridge I wear your symbol Pierced in diamonds sharp On my ears that I may always Remember to hear you with my heart Your curve that knows no ending dangles On sterling chain around my throat A reminder to fulfill Solemn promises I have spoke You rest upon my naval A charm of infinities tease As outer beauty gives way to age Sweet time my youth appeased Your sign never ending Like fools upon the earth Inked in red upon my wrist Hiding scars when thoughts of life seemed undeserved What is my obsession O'infinity Our days so quickly turn to past Within parameters of death and birth Experiences just beyond our grasp If I could overstep your boundaries Place my toes just over your edge Calculate your infinite zeros Owning resources for dreams alleged My learning curve a continuum Time to get it right A touch of love a sacrifice Those things first missed in darkest night The caress of your face not given A smile unreturned "I love you" remains in silence In ashes lie bridges burned Infinity... A dimension utterly unknown I need you not to fly the sky or mountain's high to climb This endlessness that immortals own But to see again those souls Ive lost in time I hold no comfort of heaven's gate or Hell Though promises of infinity are all too common there I just want days and nights unnumbered For in youth we're completely unprepared For Infinite choices without wisdom When of passing days we have no fear But as the end draws ever nearer Hearts aching for that which we should have revered Time becomes a commodity Too sacred now to waste Remind me always the quickness of a day Sweet Infinity, it's why your symbol I embrace
