Swimming in that swift river of mystical streams,
Coloured markers numbering emotional undress,
I wonder if love still lives in your heart or simply in your dreams?
Vexed intimacy writhes with love's attire and emotional duress.

Every time I lose a piece of you,
Colours in my world seem to change,
All those lost markers love shared too,
Numbering all those moments love arranged.


Our broken hearts have us crying . . . crying . . . crying,
I know we're searching and finding true love is tough,
Soaring past blinding stars and broken clouds I see you trying,
But tears no matter how they fall will never be enough.


Now we're growing new pairs of wings,
Farewell to lofty perches fly off to miraculous far off places,
Perhaps our curious hearts will yet find wondrous things,
Witness light in new ways reflected off other shining faces.

Two lonely planets spinning hapless around an atomic sun,
Trying to capture pleasing sunlight as we resolutely spin,
But all this surging cosmic energy urges us onward as we run,
Untamed comets tease us reminding love that we forever sin.


If it weren't for those radiant stars,
How would passionate love ever see?
Void of cosmic dreams which are always ours,
How would divine heaven ever begin to be?


There is an ardent fire burning in our wounded souls as we know,
I'm afraid to turn my back in case I turn around to find love gone,
Daring to close my eyes how will love ever find us as we grow?
Darling let love guide me back to you before the coming dawn!

There's a Thunderbird living in my beating heart,
Chanting love's precious name every night and every day,
Hoping disintegrated love will find us so we don't end up so far apart,
Peering down from saviour heaven love truly wishes you would stay.


Perched on the edge of love's high precarious cleft,
So there in time love finally stands hand in hand with us,
All that remains is purity ascending far above love's deep rift,
Precipitous love diminishing time into particles of simple us.
 

Beaming we dream through a dark unstable universe,
Time diminishing into streaming existential light,
As rivers of love remold all our want and need into simple verse,
Capturing love in our hearts we may then find what is true and right.
