Beautiful Ceremony
Beautiful ceremony,
where are you...?
You have caught me unawares
between time and you...
Found me regressed
beneath a daydream-tree
in shades of yesterday
where you last sought
to resuscitate our distant vow...
From day till dusk
as I set off into the afterglow
of the day's final glory,
do I think of our walk together...
To only find myself
perplexed in a world of heap
that fills no midnight-leap
over the lunar that encompasses me tonight...
For your beautiful face
radiates softly from the star
that conceives my timeless sleep,
upon an ocean of dreams
that swims out to meet you,
just before the horizon breaks
into an unpleasant wake...
