Avoiding my presence
Eluding my advance
From which questions are you hiding
What answers can’t I understand
You err in your caution
Misbehave in your own right
Tangling the concept
Of lovers and their lives
.
I’m eclipsed by our love
Knowing its worth
We’ve painted a picture
But it’s contre-jour;
And now I hold every moment
Not wanting to let go,
As we have this last dance –
Tears building to flow
.
How can I be there
If your life you engulfs
And being together
Means I’m never to know
A lie is a poison
Am I being the fool?
Offering patience
Until given the truth
.
I’m eclipsed by our love
Knowing its worth
We’ve painted a picture
But it’s contre-jour;
And now I hold every moment
Not wanting to let go,
As we have this last dance –
Tears building to flow
.
I’m so sure of reason
That I still want to know
All inside you are holding
Being sure not to show
Hold me tighter
Don’t look, just smile,
As we ready for parting…
Or perhaps one more try?
.
I’m eclipsed by our love
Knowing its worth
We’ve painted a picture
But it’s contre-jour;
And now I hold every moment
Not wanting to let go,
As we have this last dance –
Tears building to flow
.
Do not take ideas away from struggling artists without recognising their contribution. I hope the world finds TRUTH and stops those killing creativity and making others miserable through bullying or by blocking their life, or taking their ideas to use as their own.
