From the shadows of the empty bed
And fires of the lonely nights
When the moon stood forlorn
Was born a Grey Rose
On the dusty and barren land
Which told tales not of love or lust
Nor of glee and freedom
Nor of togetherness
Nor did it speak of evil
Nor of sadness
Or for that matter–
morbid fabricated tales
Of love lost and death
It was a tale of a scavenger
A yearning
A longing and waiting
It was a reprise–
Of stagnated sheltered dreams
…
There was a grey fire here last night
It burnt the roof of the city down
The orange canary sang in wilderness
The red dog wept in sadness
The purple cat hid in dismay
The people stared at the sea
That was an escape and this was the dream
The trees were ash and the house on the hill…
Turned rust
And the golden canary sang in its nest
They looked for me and I tried to hide
This was the story and it was a test
The whole city was burnt and there was smoke
People looked at the sky
For it was far and that was the cry
I sit in a dark room thinking about darkness
I have a glass of blood in my hands
And a bird flies quietly in my head
I do not know why
I will sit here. For hours to come. And minutes and seconds
Thinking about darkness
All the light that I lost
And I cannot look around me
There is a bear which plays the flute
And I do not understand why
There is darkness around me
And I am the light.
And soon I’ll burn myself out
As I burnt my candle turning it into the wildfires
The ghosts play the piano
And I can not dance
But I do not know why
I can hear laughter and people talking
But it must be all in my head
Yet I do not know why
It’s like the days are not even days any more.
Night isn’t night anymore.
I am not even who I was anymore.
The sky has turned into ash, it isn’t blue anymore
The moon is a black dot, it isn’t the moon anymore
The sea has turned into soot, it isn’t it anymore
The tree upon which I gazed outside
It is not standing there anymore…perhaps it travelled north or towards a dusty gloom
I don’t know anymore
There is so much dark now, I don’t want the light anymore
I loved someone once
I don’t love anymore
After the dawn broke she looked at the sun as it was coming up and said I will have nothing to do with love.
And as the dusk turned blue into a dusty hue of pink and grey. She looked at the moon and said I will have everything to do with love.
The oppressed mind–makes the eyes stare in the dark
Every one and no one was to rejoice
In past memories and future shadows
An inkling–
The past has faces while the present has emotions
But the eyes constantly stare
A tune, a song, what is it!?
Which plays in the hollow of the naked dark day
The tired body–makes the soul dream
Of freedom–from the shakles
Each and all were to part–
You took that road which I was not allowed to take
I took that path which you could not find
The eyes, constantly gape
In the glistening bright night–none stirred
Each toiled!
And the eyes….they stared, in the space, deep into infinity
Then, the soul was free, so it was lost
The body–was dead and so it was born again!
Let’s discover Time together. See what happens. How it does so.
Your wrinkled face will tell you that the person you see in the mirror is not you. Is it really you?
Let’s shine together. In our dullness, let’s just shine.
Copper. Just copper.
Let’s see everyone else fly high while we stand below. Shooting them down?
No. Lets build wings. From scratch.
Let’s dig for diamonds.
Wade through the triumph-the sea-the delusion.
Copper. Is it?
What is this music that goes about? While i watch everyone dance!
Let’s get away from here. Run. Hide. Up. Far. Below. Lost. Vanish.
Copper.
Clink our glasses to a toast. Smile. Laugh. Talk. Lie.
Copper
