Dark Paths
December 13,1997
Inspiration: A.R.
A dark path winds in front of me
Shifting over a churning, stormy sea
What agony it brings when you love someone unconditionally
When you love them silently and hopelessly
A green sun breaks the horizon
The green glow calms the golden waves and soft sirenian wind
For a short time my soul sours
That sun's light my heart stores
The path continues and I follow you
Trailing behind in that deep blackish-blue hue
Even the life giving light pales compared to thee
You mean more than the world to me
She is all I can see
I shall be in pain for eternity
Your heart to another belongs
To you mine belongs, for you my heart longs
Sometimes I wish you knew
How deeply I love you
But dreams are only dreams
And you are my living dream
With soul searching sight
With the darkness of light
When I gaze into the depths of my heart, I see you
Your happiness refreshes like the morning dew
You fallow your road
And I fallow far behind with this heavy load
Your kind touch sustains me for a day
Your green glow wipes the tears away
Your eyes can never know
The sirenian wind whispers upon the breeze "she knows"
My heart answers how could she
My dreams are dreams death has let be.
