Candied Lullabies

Sing a song of days gone by;

Sing my candied lullabies.


An ocean drip in every breath

Will sooth the steady stream of night

A seed of sky sown in your eye

Will still the torrent in your head.


Sing a song of days gone by;

Sing my candied lullabies.


A chord of coral in my voice

To soothe the crackling, breaking noise.

A single shell clutched in my heart

To break the

                           rift outside my arms.


Sing a song of days gone by;

Sing my candied lullabies.


A heart of diamond beats in pearl

Call your escorts; call your Earls.

A shatter shard of tickling clock

Shall not beach, mock or rock

my small vessel, in water flows;

Time's cruel arms are simple oars!


Sing a song of shells gone by;

                              Sing my candied lullabies.
