brilliance in shadows

sometimes i wish i'd know what to ask

how to let you know

give me the right questions

shall we expect great things

and

hungry, thirsty,

one thing I ask

all tones of glory

all shades of things to come.

[If.]

I don't even want to pretend
you would find out anyway
see how yeah actually yeah
I have no idea
and the dreams that are there
I suddenly just felt so very protective
It was when I wasn't fully sure
if you were being genuine
or would you run after others
Affection
Affliction
So weird
It paralyses my thinking
and my defence rises
Don't want to get hurt
Don't want to get close
But I like what I see
And I like the way you are
And let me be
And share the what I have
Just give me some time
to learn to trust
and to trust my senses
and let down my defences
Learn to live
in this village of the world.

[Invitation Only]

Would you build with me a home
under the waterfall
Where light meets raindrops
turns them to diamonds of all
colours of the spectrum
Would you have with me many sons
sons of thunder
fierce and gentle like the wind
Raise them to go to the ends of the earth
and joyfully grief when they are do.

I smile. If only I would.

To look like a spring day
crowned young like blossoming trees
or the very first winter morning
painted with lace of frost
Not a problem to be solved
but a mystery to be enjoyed
Carrying the scars of lessons learnt
Complicated becomes simple
I am not your answer.
Patchwork of details drawing a match
when you stand only an arms length away.

I smile. If only I would.
Hope.

[Intensité]

When tears came down
I would not look at you
ashamed of hurting
Unpleasantly fragile
Sparkle,
So afraid
of being vulnerable
closing in
So you won't see
on the streams of dreams of
sleepless fields where I walk
Offer the strength
to drink in the beauty
come further in
see the joy.
Tame me.
