Fair Lady

Fair Lady

Fair Lady

The wind dances in your curly locks

And trapped with them are fragments of my dreams

You look into the world

Like a baby,

Innocent that you have captured me

I lay nets of my soul around you

Hoping to catch your eyes

And yet my own eyes see

the same barren landscape of only

moments ago

That always seem like eternities

Perhaps you only watch me when I don't

Save perhaps for that first instant

When my innocence of you was lost.

Fair Lady

I know that I do not love you

Not yet, perhaps never

But I find you complementing the darkness

Like doves that find the wind like Mother's caress

Or like the Oceans that finds the shore

That it slaps and smothers as home

I have spent so many nights on arms of others

Only to find myself alone

Like the moon, or like the stars

All too present, all too distant, and all to silent

Remembering, sometimes wishing to forget

Fair Lady

And so I shall stay in the distance

All too present, all too distant, and all too silent

Happy, that before the arrival of my sunset

I have traveled over your fields

Like the sun I have watched, and embraced you

Though I was only a shadow in your horizon
