MOONLIGHT SONATA



On the golden sands                                                           
Watching the east autumn sky
Black masses spreading fast and athwart
Up through the darkness
Gazing into eternity, she stands

Amid a belt of ether
Transparent and clear
Ascends the large and calm Jupiter
And as the splendid sun sets
She wishes upon a shooting star

She walks the endless beach in her solitude
In search of a happy refuge
Waiting for the wind to whisper a promise
A promise of love, a promise of life
And looks beyond the high surf

An empty room, an empty heart
She reaches for a paper
To pen a thousand memories to share
Hides more than she reveals
Longs for a kiss that'd wipe her tears

The emptiness kills her
Runs naked into the darkness
Drenched in the bloody rain
Numb to every touch
And to every pain

Had said her love once
'I'll be there forever'
And now forever has come and gone
The burial clouds are low and sullen
Fragments of salvaged hope are fallen

As the full moon rises to its nocturnal throne
She looks at you and the pearls in the oysters
Her soul dances to the moonlight sonata
Its time she opened her box of dreams
And ran to the safety of your arms

Maybe she'll fold the yellow love letters
Maybe the long gone past is now fading away
Maybe the ravening clouds won't be victorious
She's in love with you
And maybe you'll love her too

THE REBIRTH


                                                                                        
As I run into my exodus
The numbness engulfs
The cyst chokes
And I breathe no more

The crazy diamonds romance my flesh
Bathed in the astral light
I stand here with my scars exposed
Looking for you in the dead of the night

I breathe under the frozen river
As I slowly surrender to the dawn
I hear you from the white forest
And I'm reborn

Its the perfect rain
Come, find me
Allay my fears and my pain

Make love to this Madonna
Let this nakedness be her birth
Wish her dreams would now leave her here
To find the eternal truth
