There goes the heron that sits at the shore
Awaiting to feed on a helpless bird
Ten foreign trees towered up above me
This scene before my eyes was one I’ve not seen
Suddenly I felt a stare from behind
In naivety and innocence
I turned back my head
Clothed in white, she stood there
With one subtle look
I was put on the path to my end
Transparent woman
in brush strokes so pale
Moonlight came forth
through creases of her hair
that fell to her knees
In angelic grace
she now came toward me
With each step she took
my dead heart was struck
I know this face.
Her lips moved,
yet her voice was mute
Still I knew
Aria was her name
This world, her womb
“I know your heartache
I’ll mend your pain
Absolve your sins
Free your shame
I’ve waited here
forever for your love
to come set me free
I’ve grown as you’ve grown
I’ve been with you in sleep
since it all began”
The water rose in liquid pillars up to the sky
Beware, instinct told me life’s a place to leave alone
But, you shocked me out of my being
I came from the heartless place
Now here’s your face
I’m safe
Red love swelling deep in my chest
Shame lives in me
Shame went to deep
Shame haunts my sleep
Shame will not let me breathe
You found me where it rains
Our pigment came undone
If this is what you are
You and I
Meet eyes and we merge
This sanguine songs masks desperation
Another day gone,
still nothing has come
Wandering through the memories
from our dreamscape
I write to know that it’s real
Page after page,
all is blank
Journal for love became
loose notes of hate
Fate is fake
Beliefs are traced
Believe me, please
My thoughts loop back in a voice that’s yours
And now I’m lost here with you
Lost, fading youth
Lost without truth
Lost here with you
Falling deep in a world no one else can reach
Drifting off in sleep that will grant me peace
Birth a thought and the thought comes forth and breathes
I’m in love with a dream and it feels too real
There lies the heron dead at the shore
The ocean swallows
The ocean dissolves
Sky folds it’s self
as my vision is blurred
We say goodbye
Colors fade to pale
