in awakening

a dawn gone by with eyes merely
reflecting the glamor of the night
i spin thoughts of uncertainty,
the lights were not enough
you and i filled the emptiness outside
only to strike a gap as the cock crows from beyond
why do we submit to nothingness in awakening

the evening’s reverie
is shadowed once again
you sing promises to me meant to be broken
let me catch you a teardrop i have lurking underneath
my heart beats a thousand of this
and more
you have the sun bathing in its glory

we are lost in translation
peculiar memories keep me alive
till darkness slips into the skies
and then everything changes from oblivion
i see you clearly

my heart, will you not let it
drift off to transparency?
i am weary beyond words…

meet me when the stars
spread their wings
why do we submit to nothingness in awakening…
