Red lights like warning signs

Give way

To the unholy passage

Of my mind

 

Remembering how

I tried to make you mine

As the blood orange moon

Climbed in time with your swoon

And you sank into slumber

 

Into the depths of my heart

That plunder

Now I cry: awaken, awaken

Lusty eyelids

And drown asunder!

 

The frost begins to creep

In at the blinds

As you fell, soft and pliable

Into my hands

 

A shooting star

Falling to the bed of the Earth

 

Come, come into my arms

Out of harm’s way

Awaken, awaken

And you shall see day.
