Take Me To The Sunburst Dawn

Inspired by Glenn Hughes song "Save Me Tonight ( I'll Be Waiting)" You’ve left me, traced the trail of melting mirage, I feel deserted like the desolate sands of dune. How sadly my pent-up words ‘I need you’ I say with despair, you do not know. On the sighing sea made of billion drops of tear, descends the somber shadow of night’s slate sky, split by the flying flash of a shooting star, dissolves like my memory in the horizon of oblivion. The transient flame of devoured desire trajectory furrows in my mind a blazing trail of yearning. I can’t trace the track of the spurting star, for it flies away like the flicker of your love. I sleep at the desolate edge of the lonely night, I haven’t seen you shine like a star in my sky, for you disappear behind the cloud of trance. I’ve lost you, for I didn’t dream enough. Your essence is with me as my second shadow, fused with the abysmal darkness of my soul. How many candles my love lights for you, I’m waiting with pining heart to tell you. As you walk away from my waned wasteland, you’ll find love, not yet lost in the wilderness. If you stand by my side under the bejeweled sky, you’ll see the moondust set us aglow. Take me through the night to the sunburst dawn to your meadow gleaming with dew of longing. That’s when you’ll feel you’re in love. I’ll be waiting for that day till the end of my time.
