Some Day


Some day...
they will read my letters
and discover your beauty...
Some day ...they will tell the sea
what I felt,
so it could leave its shores,its shells,
its fish,
And follow me.

Some day...
when you look back at this...
you will remember how you
slept in my eyes...
How I held your tears in the palm of my hand...

Some day ...
the " I " that was me will free you...
as it binds you
uproot you...as it plants you
shatter you...as it lifts you

Some day ...
you will rest on my shoulder
like a song...
as the siege of memory,
splits you in half
like the black moon...

And Some day ...you shall
see the bridge across forever
and say : "What took you so long?"

Until then...
I shall gather your parts
so you could be whole again...
I shall plant you as a cloud
so you could paint the sky a lighter blue...
I shall drape you over the moon
so you can be the brightest hue...

Until then, rest my love...
Rest between my lines
as I soar above like the white
dove..
Below, I shall hear men say:
"Indeed, the sun is more beautiful
when it sets..when it sinks
ever so slowly in the ocean of memory ..."

Until then... my tears like black rain
shall fall on white piano chords
and my hand ...shall rest... like a bird
in yours ...
While the rest of me learns how to breath under water.

Lyrics of embedded song , "Goodbye, my love, goodbye"

Hear the wind sing a sad, old song
it knows i'm leaving you today
please don't cry or my heart will break
when I go on my way.

Goodbye my love goodbye
goodbye and au revoir
as long as you remember me
I'll never be too far.

Goodbye my love goodbye
I always will be true
so hold me in your dreams
till I come back to you.

See the stars in the skies above
they'll shine wherever I may roam
I will pray every lonely night
That soon they'll guide me home.

Goodbye my love goodbye
goodbye and au revoir
as long as you remember me
I'll never be too far.

Goodbye my love goodbye
I always will be true
so hold me in your dreams
till I come back to you.
