Sparks - Faith And The Muse

How carelessly the bound daylight caresses

Oblivious to wandering eyes extinguished

Free me reckless with the night

Elusive scenes enkindled burst to fire

Where splendor casts umbrageous twin

And love sparks radiance

To guide the heart from within

All in search for you

Eve of brilliance

Till the morning proves indifference

For the sparks die

Leaving shadows in my vision

How dutifully the dull sunlight chastises

Adopted wings that dare arise with promise

Incandescent I represent

Pandora’s uninformed enlightenment

And fears that creep about my flame

Evanesce until the dawn calls them

Home again bearing thoughts of you

And I’m helpless to see

Unbecoming of me Blindly mythicizing

Etiolation emphasized by merrythoughts

Once broken by moonlight

Oh brighter to have never loved

Than gather ghosts of the blinding

Relentless sun idealized in you

And I can’t bear to see

Unbecoming of me Love is not dead
