Ariadne's Thread

so you feel, as i stand alone

no more than these feelings

as feelings aside dust this room

dusting these windows, chairs

ceilings so high

with fear, a lonely, all the more candid

removing your face from my thoughts

the deeper the chill, the deeper i feel

that nothing can last, even our love

even our faith, through this night

all that haunts me, returns on fire

burning through my hair and skin

burning through what fades, burning

through my life if my life only just

had only just began to breathe

breathe in this dust, this haze

on fortune now failing, on love seeming to die

where are the questions, where are the reasons

my heart still wonders why

why in truth all these words must be said to be

why in life my death is to save

your life from beyond this lost and lonely grave

i seek such truth, in me, for the more

seeking where to find such beauty

as you might say, that beauty never was

never was inside your soul

i do, i have always, always known

that beauty is in your soul, through your body

dancing, in shadow and in light

the memory is your moon, today is your night

all that is beauty, is beauty in you all the more

my love continues to grow, and lets my

body, live through me in soul

and though beauty rages, pounds through your skin

no more are my words written, no more are my words said

that could make you see, such life, such love

veiled as a window, ready to open right in front of me

you are my life, my love as beauty is kind

such my heart does see such life, that is inside

the corners of your quiet brown eyes

patient is the truth, desperate are these times

never knowing just how to be, for the laughter

racing, from the past rushes all over me

and from these sounds, a howl, a gaze

so much never knowing, never believing in a dream

as the beauty is so yielding inside, never free

so lost am i, never quite, never right

is this life, never, never in front of me

and in your eyes, do you see what is the light?

or is it only the remains of the day

in your sight above all to remember

i beg, recast once more

in river's edge, daggers for your swords

remember that love is in me

for all colors are shadow, all colors

are light, your soul to be

never shall i doubt, never shall i doubt

that i love you, forever

in all that is this life's eternity
