EPIPHANY
(April 25th 2005)
Like shattered glass
Illusions fall
Dreams dissolve, resolve
Changing, twisting turning
Surer now, a future in mind
Paths are set, places to go
Let's find a route that takes us
To the ancient city of gold
We'll dance in the moonlight
I'll sweep you off your feet
Lay you in your bed of roses
Touch your face, gently stroke
It's midnight, New Years Eve
Let's celebrate now together
It's Christmas Eve, sit by the fire
Relax and whittle away the hours
Valentine's Day, we're out
Candlelit dinner, romantic movie
Necking like teenagers
It's our birthdays, happy birthday
We grow older, appreciate the years
Look how time has changed us
But still we grow together
It's Graduation, you've got your degree
Look how happy you are, all in green
Mother's Day, Father's Day
Our children surround us
Kali on her mother's lap
Iris beside her father
Another on the way
It's a wedding, hooray
And it's ours you say
Tonight's the honeymoon
We'll put those rabbits to shame
Hey, it's a giant fluffy bunny
Let's stay and rest awhile
Lie on his comforting fur
So bye, bye Ms. American Pi
And I would give up forever to touch you
You know it's all true
Heavy metal concert, dressed in goth
You know you look beautiful
Pounding music, driving rhythm
Future home, dungeon deep
Music playing, kitchen singing
Cookies calling your name
I sigh, take a step back
From the keyboard where I've written my dreams
And I know now, I do know now
Where I want to be
I want to share these things with you
You my love and only you
Maybe it won't always be happy
Maybe we'll sometimes be apart
Seperated by thousands of miles
But we'll always be together
In heart, if only that
And the words I found lacking
Short days ago
Suddenly return to me in force
Poetry flows, the smile begins
Remember old times, good things
There's love still in these old eyes
Burned by the fires of hell and time
But love for you still flows
And will flow
Til the end of my days
This is my epiphany
My sudden understanding
I love you
Even if you don't love me
Even if I have to let you go
Even if you've lied
Even if we're never together
Even if I haven't always known or remembered
Even if things get hard
Even if things are easy
Even if we're a thousand miles apart
Even if it's only an inch
Even if life goes on forever
Even if it ends tomorrow
Even if nothing stays the same
Even if we end up with someone else
Even if life never gives us a break
Even if we're tested
Even if we're tried
Even if hell spat you back out to me
Even if I cried
I love you
Never be afraid to tell the truth
Never fail to go where eagles dare
Never lose track of what's important to you
Never give up your faith
I'll love you anyways
'Til the end of time
Come what may
Or hell or high water
I will.
So let's dance in the moonlight
Look deep into the others eyes
We're naked, we're on a beach
Stars shine upon us
Casting a cool glow upon all
Gaze deep into my eyes...
Deeper, deeper still...
And know... I love you.
