i will forget you...

i will forget you

i will forget you
every morning as the sun forgets to shine
i will forget you
every night as the stars forget to sparkle
and i will forget you
as the moon forgets to rise in blue velvet
i will forget you

i will forget you
then

.

.

.

the moon of what was...

on those cold dark nights
when the moon has taken cover
in the arms of what was

and you are
alone

there

with her

and i am
alone

 
here

with him

we are never closer
to each other
than those nights

under the cover of the moon
of what should have been

alone

together
again
.
.
.

slices of time...

 shards of time
slice through these 

memories of mine 

with all those

crystalline dreams

now swept downstream

leavin’ behind
pieces of me
broken and blue
missin’ you

.

.

.

pieces of me from yesteryear...

if i but could

take the hurt
from out the wound
that lingers there
if i but could
take the rage
from out the deep
that dwells within
if i but could
take the sorrow
that sucks your life
away
if i but could
my love
 i surely
would

~

take my arms
my love
shelter from
the storm

you need
not ask
my love
for what
is mine
is yours

take my lips
my love
taste till
you are filled

you need
not want
my love
for they are mine
to give

take my heart
my love
we need not
ever part

you need
not need
my love
for love is
mine to give

there are no strings attached
no chains to hold you here

for love, my love,
my only claim

~

you take my breath away
i cannot help but stare

there is no end in sight
to the love i see there

i cannot help but stare

for you were always there
just a touch away

but it took love
to turn the night away

i cannot help but stare
~

[there is another little yesteryear piece of me below - at voices from 1975]

i...

cry

you

and

my 

heart 

bleeds

through...

blood red moon...

blood red moon

in midnight black

touching you

touching me

 blood red moon

in velvet light

kissing you

kissing me 

blood in the moon

cries love’s tune
sadness to stay
and we both pay 

blood in the moon
love gone too soon
tears in my heart
why did we part

wish i might
have my wish
come true this night
of

blood red moon
