And Then...

What if the sun breaks

in two places?

What we oughta face, with

Guitars weeping in ebony strains

Agony viscous within piano notes

Trumpets blazing out mute monotones

To sullen observers,

A swan-like harp mellowed by the constant fear

Cymbals lurking behind every edge of a shadow.

And what if the stars met,

In a perfect halo of mystery?

Shrouded by my search for you.

The planet's last dance,

Eternity falling like ash in a constant storm

But then I found you somewhere in the fields of space.

And you

Drove me to drive up till I reached the skies.

What if the storm ends now,

To pull my memories back to distant echoes

As I walked from cage after subtle cage

Like a sparrow

Loving every moment

Of the nothingness in flames

Thunder in the lightning inside

Birds hovering above the gates of twilight.

And then I saw

But misunderstood,

Screaming out colors

Bewitching myself

I feel me.

There is no other path

Leading down to the other day

Where all the others lie

Tangled up in their other lives.

And but for the

Screaming wind,

The mind explosion,

Pretty lights that

Spy over me

Reign over me

Put me to rest,

I would cease to be.
