I see you carry this Love in your eyes
While you hold the moon in your hands
For I am the burning sun whose unforgiving fires
Will reduce to ashes your entire universe
At the slightest touch, the merest provocation
If you dare come any closer in my direction.
I watch you watch me in awe, in silence
Contemplating ways to capture the warmth
Emanating from these pleading eyes
That light up at your smiles so sweet -
While mine are hot and cold, a curious thing
Erasing and drawing firm lines in the sands
Cos I know your heart is full, it is swollen
With little stars borne out of fire and ice
And my teardrops evaporate, disappear -
Before they hit the ground beneath your feet
Look, my dear - Darkness has fallen; Night is here!
All is good, all is well with this side of the world
Time I went - I have things to do - I just can't linger.
