WHO
--------
who are you, tell me
WHO ARE YOU REALLY?
a boy? a man?
i can, understand
if you do not Want to tell me-
yes, i can understand.
but your colour is so comforting
always feel i'm walking down
a path with overgrown flowers
leading home;
and because of this indulgence
i cannot help myself but query
so please, ever do tell me
who are you really?
are you a lifetime
captured in the blink of an eye,
immortalised in a photo album
so you never die?
are you the pinnacle
of a daoist heavenly dream,
it always seemed, kind of
backwards to me
but it makes sense now-
now that i believe.
are you everything that was anything
to those who past before you?
or are you nothing
that could have been something,
to those who come after you?
yet with these questions still i
will stare into your colour
bathe in your primary regalty
but who are you to claim ownership
of the sky?
yes, yes. you do
-YOU DO.
you are the sky of warm summer days
before i ran away
from the light
you are the sky blue, yes
azure sky blue
baby, azure sky blue.
---------
WHAT
---------
what are you, tell me
WHAT ARE YOU REALLY?
something i'm supposed to
look up to?
something i'm supposed to
forget?
baby azure sky blue
i know i know you.
i wear your presence, and it's as
satisfying as a punishment; make me repent
make me cry out as you taint my back,
with your whip
for you must be bless'ed with the touch
of the idols, to make me
look back.
but i rack my mind, what are you- do you
come to tell me verses
on how the more things change, the harder
it is to stay the same?
are you a prophet?
what are your curses?
are you a warning,
stop sign
of the transcended kind?
are really azure sky blue?
no,
i'm sorry for asking you.
slowly, these piece's of the puzzle
come together. narcissus, yes
we are narcissus, this is what you are
you are the mirror image
that i fell in love with-
you are the baby blue,
azure sky blue
that i once, long ago, knew.
----------
WHERE
----------
where are you, tell me
WHERE ARE YOU REALLY?
in a box? in a hole?
is it beautiful there
baby azure sky blue?
go on, you can tell me all.
are you sitting on a rock
by the water fall, where the falling water
recites poetry to all
who comes to seek it?
are you under the skin
swimming down a river-way
with the cold sound of
rapids breaking the current
baby azure sky blue
is it there that you do play?
do you dance a tango
with the setting sun?
or dine for two by the light of the moon
with murmur and
a loaded gun?
do you rest at day
and change at night?
do you kill for love?
do you love for spite?
baby azure sky blue
where are you?
for you are not locked
in a box buried
deep in the hole of my heart
and i miss you.
