Roses and Cigarettes

Love Me Solar

I'm a moon dancing in circles around you

Close, but not too close to touch you

Far, but not too far to forget you

Spinning around lies that never went through

With a passing day and a gleaming night

The largest field between us grew

Space that gave us reason and clarity

But it was nothing but a field of gravity

Pulling us toward each other

Like an unborn child attached to his mother

With a fleeting minute and a beaming hour

My lips wanted you to devour

Jupiter aligning followed by Saturn

Mercury was next and then it was your turn

To line with me in a solar dance

With no thoughts, just leave it to chance

Stare me in the eyes, don't take a glance

For with no tragedy there's no romance

And the flames of a thousand stars flicker

And your hands in mine grow slicker

And a grasp of you is merely a glow

Of an image of you fading so slow

And with one last ethereal blow

The last lights of the last candles withdraw

Leaving me ever so sicker

Sending my mind to an eternal trance.
