In the stillness of the dusky light he shifts and wakes,
His crimson eyes bathed in thoughts of her,
Dreams of her,
Whispers of her,
Her face reflecting a Goddess,
Golden silhouette against the dawning skies,
His crimson filled with her topaz warmth,
Her name an eternal prayer to him,
Each whispers leading on the path of salvation,
Salvation only she could offer,
Hopeful as he yearns for the days her laughter echoed,
Filled his weary days,
As they cherished one another,
Tangled in sheets,
Their Castle of clouds,
The world far away.

In the stillness of the dusky light he shifts and wakes,
Their moments in skies fleeting yet eternally imprinted,
He remembers her smile,
Washing wave against his dry shore,
First dew droplet on a barren wasteland,
Sunshine across the field of bathed roses,
A beacon of light in the darkest abyss,
As he recalled their conversations of tomorrows,
In soft tones and stolen glances,
Building their beloved castle in the sapphire skies,
Castle in the clouds,
Dreams woven in the fabric of their love.

In the stillness of the dusky light he shifts and wakes,
Every touch a harmonic symphony,
Every kiss a poetry preached by gods,
He can still hear her soft laughter,
A melody that echoes in the chambers of his vacant heart,
Under the tree they carved their names eternal,
With knife of peace,
Tracing memories lively in the bark,
Feeling her lost presence in the wind's gentle caress.

In the stillness of the dusky light he shifts and wakes,
Life shall carry him forward yet he longs only her,
A river of flowing time pulling her apart from him,
Her voice a beloved lullaby to his heart,
Soothing his restless nights as he closed his finals,
Her love forever an ember in his harsh solitude,
He knows for their time borrowed,
An escaping gift of the universe was it?
Yet in every beat of his heart he sees her,
A timeless part of him she shall stay.

As he lies in the warmth of the morn' dreaming,
Of a world where they are forever together,
Of a paradise,
Of their Castle in the Clouds,
In his final breathes he sees her close,
A whisper of kiss on his cheek,
A promise that their love shall carry on forever,
As he slips into his eternal slumber,
Forever reunited with her.
