The soul cannot speak
For the body won't let it
It will deny until it is weak
Soon it's candles can't stay lit
The tree can only grow
When the sun nourishes it.
Without the sun, even waters stop to flow
Leaves lay dead in a silenced pit
Wondering, what have I done wrong?
My existence is to flourish throughout
To love and respect.
To live.
Upon thus it was told
It is your destiny to die.
The fountain once ran so clean
It's waters fresh and pure.
Rainbows rejoiced as the birds flew their colors
Whispering movement through the stone
The old wept, the young player their games
What I sight to behold!
Now into the past, the water flows
Leaving the stone dry
The lifeless cracks leave their purity
No more sound
No more beauty
Frozen in a time once of peace
Now pillars into emptiness
Never to flow again.
One long ago your beauty foretold
To strike down, one or another
Trickery that strikes even the bold
You move through light like a shadow
Though your eyes see two
There's really only one
Don't worry, beautiful one, I see your treachery.
Do you?
I have longed for the stars
To shine with such fondness
My heart can only respond
For what is a fish to do without water?
Slowly dying, there are no words
Every moment a new emotion
To this I show my devotion
All for truth
All for courage
To finally say, "I love you."
Oh heartfelt night I praise your beauty
Without hesitation you move in gracefully
Glass that flys sticks to the wonders of your skin
Sparkling for the one who finds comfort within
The sweeping mist moves so playfully
What a sight you are!
As I gaze upon this newfound love,
I ask myself, "Do I truly deserve this happiness?"
Let it be said from the highest peak
The wish of honor, fallen low
For years and years are what we seek
However wise, will only our life slow
The duck ignorant of its kin
Leaves falling with no sound
Minds now they must spin
It is this time when honor must be found
How can I look into the eyes of her
The thought of lost happiness frightens me
The subject itself could bring a stir
However I need to know to be
Should the cloud conversat with the moon?
Emptiness find a love?
I know not of such happenings soon
For I still hang lifeless above.
Dead stay dead for fear they wake
Tragic endings, all the cause
Life ends what we make
For each light out, another applause
So tell me then, why to be
Is it just the journey
Mortality offers not what I see
Its time for me to leave
For every beautiful garden is worth, ten times that for a head of a spy.
With two faces, a being destined to die.
One of happiness, one of spite.
Only it's defeat will set things right.
Do not fall for such kindness
They count on your blindness
Failed lessons to start anew
A dynasty brought askew
The flower now lays at the gate
It was too late
