Sparks

How carelessly the bound daylight caresses Oblivious to wandering eyes extinguished
Free me reckless with the night Elusive scenes enkindled burst to fire
Where splendor casts umbrageous twin And love sparks radiance
To guide the heart from within All in search for you

Eve of brilliance Till the morning proves indifference
For the sparks die Leaving shadows in my vision

How dutifully the dull sunlight chastises Adopted wings that dare arise with promise
Incandescent I represent Pandora's uninformed enlightenment
And fears that creep about my flame Evanesce until the dawn calls them
Home again bearing thoughts of you

And I'm helpless to see Unbecoming of me Blindly mythicizing

Etiolation emphasized by merrythoughts Once broken by moonlight
Oh brighter to have never loved Than gather ghosts of the blinding Relentless sun idealized in you

And I can't bear to see Unbecoming of me Love is not dead
