The Mind's Eye - October Project

Today i woke

Hidden from the sun

I heard a young man speaking,

Magic on his tongue

Bound at the feet

Taken by the wrist

He reaches out to me, a diamond in his fist

I hear my name

Repeating like a prayer

Within the chambers of the early morning air

You speak of love

So innocent and clear

Invent an emptiness where i can disappear

And time goes away

Where no one can see

But in the mind’s eye

The summer never ends

The days go on and on

Until you sleep again

The strangers kissed

The lovers could not part

They could not see the ending

Coming from the start

There were no signs

No changes in the air

If there were better times, i can’t imagine where

But in the mind’s eye

The summer never ends

The days go on and on

Until you sleep again

And time goes away

Where no one can see

Today i woke

His name upon my tongue

I saw the birds above me leaving one by one

A promise held too tightly

Always comes apart

Within the verses and reverses of the heart

But in the mind’s eye

The summer never ends

The days go on and on

Until you sleep again

And time goes away
