Nocturne Op9 No1 Interpreted As the Siren's Call
Written in response to listening to Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9, No. 1
Heaven awaits me, fleetingly
Captured in your sight
I came alive, I am alive
With a permanent vision
Of a vanishing dream
Awaiting me, there you are
I will dance, to the edge
Twirl in euphoria, ever close
Beckoned into the twists and turns
With you at my fingertips
I knew how this ended
That it never began
Captured in your sight
I am sawn in two
The push and the pull
Of knowing
A decision is wrong yet right
I carefully tread
Yet intemperance defines me
Closer and closer
Until over the edge of time
For an eternity of nothingness
When consciousness
Overwhelms me
And I am overlain with time
Of the forevers bequeathed
So freely
I'll trudge, lifetime after lifetime
Until you and I collide
Once more
In the eventuality of existence
Forever committed to the dance
That leads me back to you
