Sunlight streaks across silken waves
As the bluest skies span across the day
Whispering breezes alight and dance around
Laughter, quiet and soft pressing into the ground
Another moment of blissful reentry
Another loss of a morning spent in reprieve
And as the sun braves the day, I drift off again
So content, so happy, so complacent
In your arms
And as the sun sets upon another goodnight
And the fires of dreams come out and take flight
Into stratospheres of perfection so pure, so real
Everything makes sense, the truest way to feel
Is lost inside and finally free of it all
Tripping over nothing and savoring the fall
So perfect in the reflections of angel wings
The moon glows with fires that the sun alone brings
They dance in the sky, the moon and the fire
As if the moon wishes to fly, but can get no higher
Following his star with a mournful crying out
And the sun paints the way to follow without doubt
In orbit she spins, painting streaks of fire and light
And the moon pereseveres, through the cold and the night
Seeking only her solace, her warmest embrace
Ignoring the whispers below of some race
So dark without her, radiant in her gaze
So cold inside, the moon wishes only to blaze
To reflect just a sliver of her beauty to behold
So as she cannot stay, he must follow, he knows
And as lovers embrace, often glimpsed in dreams
The moon absorbs all the light his sun brings
The world stops for a moment, when they chance to entwine
The darkness the moon's world shared for a moment of time
Still she cannot stay, and he must follow once more
And he will, eternally seeking her shores
She is his solace, his comfort, his only hope of light
Without her everything is darkness and pain and black night
Millions of miles, and he reaches across the void
The trembling, fragile hope of a damaged little boy
The sun smiles her smile and dances her dance
And the moon cannot help but follow again, entranced
The sun paints her moon brightest colors of life
She offers him hope of an end to the night
She wishes to stay, but the choice is not her own
She never outruns him, just waits for him to come home
The moments are too brief, the need for each other too great
Such a beautiful love trapped in a hopelessly doomed fate
So she dances away again, promising the moon her heart
And she chokes back the tears as his world falls apart
And he follows forlornly, she lights the sky for his smile
Just biding her time until she can be his alone for a while
She offers all she can to help on his steep uphill slope
The brightest good mornings and nights to bolster his hope
She lights the world about which he must remain
Promising there will be beauty after his tears make the rain
Breaking the storms of his temper left alone
Guiding the way and promising she will always be his home
For she needs him as much as he needs her light
She needs rest and reprieve from the onslaught of night
And he reflects her love so well, so perfectly
The only recompense, and he gives so willingly
SO she paints him good morning, and bids him fondest night
And he follows his heart, and reflects her love back, just as bright
And they dance together, so unaware of it all
So caught up in the chase and the dance, the ball
Of the universe playing music so complete and so true
And the world stands in awe of the power of the two
So perfectly complimented, so complete in their way
So the moon guards the night while his sun is away
And the sun paints him tomorrow a bright hope of peace
And they dance and embrace and eclipse and release
Hello beautiful smile, eyes so blue, clear skies of rain
Shaming the sun with a smile and I can breathe again
Good morning across fields of softest porcelain
Warmest breeze of life caressing my ear as the day begins
I get so lost in the mirrors of a tortured soul
This wandering misery has finally found a home
So afraid of tomorrow, will it promise it's real?
Falling so far, so fast, lost in the blur, in the wheel
The sky burns streaks of passion and release
King of my little universe, and for a moment at peace
Everything's so clear, and something seems right
Lost in a glorious morning after the coldest night
Hello beautiful smile, eyes so blue, clear skies of rain
Shaming the sun with a smile and breathing again
Good morning, caressing fields of softest porcelain
The zephyr of life teasing my ear as the day begins
Butterflies migrating north as the world resurrects
Such warmth and a charm that steals every breath
Losing it all in a rush, just to find I have everything
No more solitude for this little finally somebody
The sky hides behind velvet, black and obscure
And the air all around seems a little more pure
Another day gone, will tomorrow promise me
That it's real, that it's mine, that I may safely sleep?
Hello beautiful smile, eyes so blue, clear of rain
Shaming the sun with your smile as my heart beats again
Good morning, my fingers across fields of softest porcelain
Caressing my ar with a kiss, another day gone as it begins
Hello beautiful blue eyes as I greet the day with a smile
Shaming the sun as I breathe in your scent for awhile
The Jester enters the court with trip and a bow
Making a fool of himself and laughing with the crowd
Settling down on the floor, in the shadows, stage left
The Queen catches his eye in the hall, stealing his breath
A sarcastic smile and a twinkle in her eyes
Beneath the chandeliers, a thousand blazes of light
Reflections of something more playing across her face
Such a singular focus and a nameless grace
The Jester rises to his feet as they follow of their own accord
As her Majesty begs off from the ball, wandering off as if bored
Moonlight fills a courtyard where music softly plays
She dances on her own, the Jester can't help his gaze
So beautiful as she moves, flowers bow jealously
The Jester's hands clutch his chest as he struggles to breathe
A beautific smile when she closes her eyes
Swaying in time beneath a milion star's light
The breezes caressing her hair, brushing her face
Lost among the petals, flawless in her grace
The Jester gasps as she falls, crumpling to the ground
Dashing through pathways while nothing stirs all around
His breath catches, his heart stops, as he draws near
The Queen's eyes are wide and bright, brimming with tears
She laughs harder as he colors, suddenly so ashamed
Rising swiftly to her feet, she stops him as he bows away
Offering her hand with a grin, mischievous incarnate
The music gently fades back in, slow and sedate
Hand in hand, they weave through a space neither sees
Her head comes to rest on his shoulder, nearly buckling his knees
Her scent overwhelming his mind as she presses in closely
The heat intensifies as they sway to the beat
The image of perfection as he gets beyond lost in her eyes
Two alone in the brightest of star-filled nights
Reflected souls joined for a moment of perfect grace
And the Jester gets so lost in the curves of her face
As the music fades away, their feet come at last to rest
His hands trembling slightly, her breath heating his chest
The Jester closes his eyes, allowing himself to dream
Just a small place in time, he alone with his Queen
Her face greets his eyes as they open just in time
To see her steal his heart with a kiss and empty his mind
Such a sweet torture, he can find no will to refuse
He knows nothing can happen, not now, not we two
But her flesh is so soft, so warm, pressed against
HIs resolution crumbles, and he surrenders to this
Passion unseemly, the stars smile down knowingly
And the Jester takes every gift of a moment gratefully
Her lips burning into his soul as it cries out in elation
Nails biting softly into his neck, meeting no hesitation
Such a cruel game she plays, for a game it must be
No future can exist, save for a Jester and his Queen
He knows without thought, without doubt, he is hers
To know and not have, or not know, which is worse?
A dance and a kiss and his heart is no longer his own
The Queen claims dominion, his soul as her throne
She rules uncontested as his will fades away
The Jester's tongue forms protest and begs her to stay
The tempo rises swiftly, the moments far too short
All is fire and phoenix and le petit mort
Small death, the price of a love disallowed
The Queen re-enters the ball, mingling with the crowd
A beautiful smile when no one else can see
The Queen's inner light flares radiantly
She closes her eyes and see her Jester's face
And remembers the dance, the passion, the embrace
The Jester stumbles into the court and bows in haste
He hides a smile, locking eyes with the Queen, seeming chaste
She smiles her smile, the light of mischief again in her eyes
The Jester glancesup and his eyes widen in surprise
The music softly swells as the Queen commands
And she gently steadies the Jester's trembling hands
The room fades away as he gazes into clear blue pools
Shivers course his spine as she whispers in his ear, "help me rule?"
