Where Night is Not Black

Moments pass by like tall white clouds
Drifting through the limits and span of eternity
My thoughts in conference form crowds
You’re beauty’s form inspires serenity

Triumphant in victory at the gate I call
For you to shout unto me with song
Looking to you top of the tower’s wall
From below, I stand erect in armor strong

Beautiful Girl, you make my slow mind
Wander from the confines of space
Through the ages of love stories I wind
Into your arms my mind’s dreams race

Wonderful Girl, you’re arms in my to hold
Your slender, inviting and beautiful hands
The rest of your soft skinned form into my fold
My body awaiting your arrival with love stands

Little Girl, to your mouth will I watch and listen
Not awaiting the joining of our lips in ecstasy
But longing for your crystal words to glisten
Drown me in your minds deepest fantasy

You are a light I cannot see
The darkness of the sea
Lost in endless depth of ocean
Yet moving in one motion

I don’t always understand
Your moves so carefully planned
Your love has yet to be proved
Yet in truth I’m deeply moved

An opera without words,
Music rings like wildebeest herds,
Thundering through earth’s heaven
My heart pauses at eleven eleven

Wishing upon a star out of sight
Beyond the ghastly moon white
Far from the sun’s rays of light
In the deepness of eternal night

My dream now given up to atonement
But now receiving only judgement
My sins poured out like leaves in fall
Heavens store house’s bounteous hall

Taking two steps back and one down
In the wallows of my despair I drown
Without a safety net to hold back
In my chest I feel a crack

Out flows the waters of the Nile
Not fresh cold and clear but red and vile
Poisoned the land infertile from the breath
Of God’s sacred servant of unnatural death

Taking from nature one last lungful of air
My soul out of my body does tear
One more moment free from despair
And one last silent slow prayer

I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…
Why did I build this wall
Building castles in the sky
Walk out the gate and fall
To love you so hard I try

I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…
The cavern tunnel inward comes
Caving my pure love’s dream
My thought a nightmare becomes
And in the darkness of slumber I scream

I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…
Please I loved you more than life
My honor and pride I gave
All this and I end with strife
Now you banish me with a wave

I’m sorry…

I’ve got hate flowing through my mind. Down from the eyes that gaze at the wedding. Down into the depths of my heart. Beating through my chest, my heart feels anger like an iron in the furnace. My eyes now close and look into the depth of the earth. Fire flowing up from the ground up mountains and flying into the air. Lava rolling down mountain paths of old crushing the old and new alike. Igniting the forests and knocking over the tallest cedars. My mind wanders through a scorched land.

Looking back now at the white dress and the tall man standing by smiling, my eyes turn to water. Flowing no longer in anger but in dismay. She is married now. The man has taken her. Running to his horse with her. And Liam has lost Isolde. Her face he cannot see. She runs, her hand in her lovers. But still Liam holds his hands in anger. Silent screams fly into the night sky like a dying animal. Thrashing like dolphin being torn by a pack of sharks. Water flies left and right from the silent witness.

Walking now he takes his place once again at the mountain. The sky is still blue. And the clouds are coming bringing rain. The harvest will come and the people will rejoice. But Liam cannot. Its not that Liam will not or doesn’t want joy and peace. Liam has been beaten into the hole that he lives in now. And like a hermit he cannot change.

Is the system evil? Why could he never take Isolde and run to a horse with her in his hand? But Liam didn’t find the answers to these questions. He merely asked them and fell deeper into depression that crashed in like a mountain’s walls. The creatures look and walk onward without any idea of what thoughts pulse like a heart beat through Liam. Still standing straight waiting for his replacement, Liam has eternity to think…

The woods cleared of bramble
Opened to the creatures walk
Through this sun stroked land I ramble
To nature’s children light I talk

Soft winged creatures, whistling
Symphonies beyond any man’s
My body no longer bristling
By song my heart melts in my hands

The feathers ignite into light
Beating through the air
Humming as they take flight
Into pure energy they flare

Setting sail on the mystical voyage
My senses numbed by the scene
Pure senses, no mortal could damage
All this like snow white clean

I don’t need to prove to you
My abilities to write my words
My light and darkness are true
I leave like south bound birds

I cannot give what you want
My feelings have hardened
My silence in this nights’ haunt
I leave you girl pardoned

I don’t give a damn what happens
My thoughts are all that matters
My new self from dirt awakens
I shoot the glass and it shatters

I fear nothing no longer in life
My children sleep in silence in safety
My bones no longer broken from strife
I bow now in humble piety

I end this story by saying
My story has only begun
My heart is always praying
I watch the setting sun

Walking alone through the night
Silent in thought of something gone
Walking along trails of old
Night holding back the dawn

The clouds drift above releasing rain
But I’m feeling no water, only pain
The thunder falling with booming voice
But I’m only reminded of your choice

The path leads through night
After long hours of solitary feelings
Emerging into the day’s light
The lightening flashes before my eyes

Feeling powerless to change
My inner self over time slowly mends
Emotions leave now like you
And so it is the story ends

Eyes golden with light
Shining in the darkness bright
A soul independent and apart
A child dancing in your heart

I’m caught in love with you
Crazed from looking at you
Wandering my eyes to you
To your eyes, the best of you

Eyes piercing my skin
Striking my deepest sin
A feeling changing into joy
A thought of being an innocent boy

I’m caught in love with you
Crazed from looking at you
Wandering my eyes to you
To your eyes, the best of you

Eyes forgiving my faults
Taking my arm in the waltz
A hand reaching to hold
A silent movement of gold

I’m caught in love with you
Crazed from looking at you
Wandering my eyes to you
To your eyes, the best of you

Suddenly holding, your small and soft hand
Caring for, your glowing and shining heart
Loving you, not what I had planned
But now, I can’t stand us being apart

My hands, gentle along your face
Flowing hair, my fingers do pace
Down falling, your brown locks tumble
My girl, you make me stumble

I’m thunder, reverberating above
You’re lightening, striking like a lance tip
Letting go, everyday I let go of
By water, You strike the glass and I slip

Light movements, along your soft leg
Taken in, forever more I beg
Seducing skin, I reach higher
Passion released, I feel fire
