Sunshine drops, onto ivory skin.
A sparkle in the pureness of a girl.
A girl of starry skies in the warm breeze of the night.
Restricted by her own being, writhing among the masses,
longing for the passion of freedom,
the temptations to take her over
and free her from the being which is her mind.
Desperate to keep from drowning
the body revolts
thrashing away inside
keeping the mind
in a whirl
never letting it stop...
on one thought, one moment
Quick steps
passing the crowd,
reaching for the elusive touches of one loved
-->Stumbles and Clutched
by
the man, the woman
who will
save the one
from the
sleepless nights
and ebony hearts
-->Kept from a destiny of despair
Drunken nights
spent on the floor of an unkempt room
not knowing where you're at or where you're going
scarcely remembering
the why and who
staring out the bottom of the door,
squinting at the light.
People pass,
their steps scuffing against the worn floors,
echoing through the stairway,
resounding ever louder in your head.
the body spinning out of control --- on the floor
Streams form as the night passes,
Quaking streets calm as the day breaks,
Thunder halts as the sun shines in the skies
A glimmer of hope in the heart,
that it soon will be over
