You drowned your hopes in the pouring rain
You chipped their scope as you rose above the frame
Promising that you'd never ever be the same (again)
Ephemeral!
The brush is held a tier 'bove those that you let near
It paints the wall you've inked
And yet you want the sun!
Myriad of colors turn to one
Myriad of colors turn to none
Myriad of colors turn...
In shades of violet you blended gray
Until the hue imbued simply refused to stay
And yet the black ink laced a warm embrace for the stray light to play
Ephemeral!
The acrylic that you spill can never bring to life
What our efforts might
The vision we create is for us, no other's fate
And I've made up my mind
To find you now
To break all the binds
That tie you down
To free you from the depths of touch, of speech, of sound
To finally make you see
The visual spectrum in your eyes
Cries out for vindication
Your strained fixation
Strangely absorbs me
You drowned your hopes in the pouring rain
You chipped their scope as you rose above the frame
Promising that you'd never ever be the same (again)
Ephemeral!
In saturated chroma you are mine
Hidden in synesthesia afterglow
You shine
In the realm of heightened sense
Suspended in real time
We find
Ourselves Perpetual
