Tender is the Night
Of love’s once shining Star
By heartaches least wanted
I adore thee from afar
And if my soul could render
All of me I’d give to you
Along with Cupids sender
As surely as the wind will blow,
Each day will start anew,
As surely as the world will turn,
My thoughts will be of you.
How your eyes light up with laughter,
Warms deep within my soul,
Looking to a ceiling I wonder to my world,
Is it wrong to open my legs for him,
Take him into me and open to moral fear,
I close my eyes in haste for the answer,
Talk not of I lay with another man,
Consequence is ordered, for ecstasy and men.
Why do you have these second doubts?
Where do fears spring from?
Are they from the teachings of society?
Or is something genuine, trying to speak?
Has it always been like this in life?
Think back all to your youth, in class,
Perhaps the answers lay’s in the past.
packed fully with
bulging broken dreams
and tears tearing at the seams
A face from my past gazed at me
I had met these eyes once before
I recognized this sweet beauty
from far off to the distant door
Dropping by when I am weakest
lighting mysteries upon my breast
The days are long, hot, and maddening,
the nights cloudy, starless, and sultry.
Sleep withheld behind a heavy dark veil.
Spirit weary in its empty aloneness.
Fleeting visions from happier times,
refuse to project, on the silver screen within.
Joy from dust-covered chapters, dissolves in decay,
upon the sagging shelves of remembrance.
Memories fading
Did we ever exist?
I thought we had it all
But hope is lost
In a broken world
Where you and I ran free
To be anything
Our minds could imagine
Now we’re all grown up
And I don’t recognize you anymore
