mm

there is in a land faraway a girl
with a kind of starlight blue in her eyes
whose skin falls like heaven and love like rain
from mountains of heart deep down in her chest
laughing as she wades her way through the world
but leaving behind what survives goodbyes
a moon to the tide of blood in my veins
the sun in her arms cool in her caress

sudden without reason deep in my minde
wells a nightcastle with windows all stained
whipped by winds branches scraping against stone
lit in lightning flares as groundthunders grind
and by this storm fortress image untamed
I am outside standing waiting alone
