Night

Floating in an endless mirage
I felt reality falling around me
An angel rises,
Glowing in its light
I reach out towards his smiling face
Adorned with an undescribeable warmth

An eternal battle with Time 
And Dreams fade with the fallen feathers
To hold on, to strive
Only to grasp hold of 
Emptiness in the end

I found myself a tearful soul
As I gazed up at the night air
Fireflies seem so distant and unreal,
As my visions and my dreams
Barrier of reality is hard to break.

My body binds me to the Earth
And how I long to be free
To find my wings unfurling
For a brighter sky
Where I could find his face

This unliving love sheds its blood
As it gazes at me, its eyes cold,
I close my eyes to embrace its deathly wrath
The Earth holds me close
And the Love, with the Earth,
Pins me to my present Hell

In the passing tide of Time I wait,
And hope is all dead;
The Mirages fade away into the endless Sky
And as I gaze up, 
The fireflies have faded 
Leaving me alone with the dark enticing embrace of Night.

"Kiss me, hold me, set me free.
Hurt me, embrace me, decieve me, 
And let the malicious love live."

Such a request was unheard, 
As the darkness stretched on.
The masquerade of love maliciously embrace the depths of the Night;
No trace of daybreak could be seen.

Devilishly diablical dangers
Of unseen pleasure and pain
The Night is suffocating
As my heart is decieved...

But soon it learnt,
For it turned against me;
I could not stop it's stabbing at me
With such jabs of hate and truth
Of broken love, told lies,
Of dreamy eyes and faith......

I look towards the sky. 
There the fireflies fly.
I turn towards the past,
But was locked in a icy cage called Time.
There it held me close, 
And made me see things clear;
For time washed away the smallest rocks
And its winds dried my tears.

Time was my foe till the end, 
As with it flowed my life.
Of others', too,
And my body still binds me to the Earth
Binds me to a place I never wanna be....
And how I long to be free,
To find my wings unfurling
For a brighter sky
Where I could find his face

Yet I saw, with existance,
As time flows, it can bring about Joy
If I could hold on to the fireflies,
And look towards the morning light.

The night stretches on forever;
The fireflies' light flicker;
The reality of time is my greatest enemy.....

The glowing angel is, now,
in the non-existant morning light.
