Shadows
Lust
When

Shadows.

Rainfall over roses
in gardens where shadows move
and washed out carcases
of airplanes that children flew
and you have the veto
the apple in Eden

Fingers clutching collars
and steam clouds from parted lips
the crush of the conscious
the cry as the curtain rips
the nib or the needle
the gutter or steeple

you have the power
to light up my skies
these frost bitten fingers
can take no more lies
and I've no intention
to say my goodbyes
'cause part of me dies.

Leaf bent by the moonlight
a moth blown by spoken dreams
moment by moment
in the corner where the willow leans
away from the street light
the cold hearted street light

and you have the power
to light up by skies
these frost bitten feelings
can take no more lies
and I've no intention
to say my good byes
'cause part of me dies.

When.

When you go
when you close your eyes
when you turn your gaze
to some other skies

when you turn
when you hesitate
when you stiffen up
say don't make me late

When you frown
when you pack your things
when you put your bags
with the baby things

When you leave
when you shake your head
when you do
not
say
goodbye
when your fix your head
when your straight ahead
is the only
way
to go

When your gone
where you now belong
when the house is still
so much air to fill

When I look
at how long it took
how I never
made
your smile
When I should have known
when it should have grown
But it only
made
you blue

As you grow
as your star ascends
you won't remember but
I do
I do
