like the faraway pegasus in his unhurried flight

when i found myself to you and heard i said - give me your memories to protect it, hand me your fears to cage it up, pour me your sorrows to halt your tears, i will hold you for as long as you want, and leave you as soon as you wish - i clothed myself in zodiac leo and vowed beneath its borrowed sun. gallant words from the blinding rays, bloomed a mirage of me king to your flesh. a few victories and invincible i think myself. but it was you - who drew these words from my throat like a sword from its sheath, and the sword was yours to wield. i gave my heart in all its inferno but all you came for was one last night. the kingdom that was you - my crown and glory rendered an aubade gallipoli. armoured in these weary wounds, bereft and afraid, i heard i said - sleep be my cavalier night, and yesterday will come at last.

why the hurry; the stars are above, nailed into every faithful night; the rain will fall when cotton clouds spill, and blossom on grounds like ricecrops on soil; and the sun will, when tomorrow comes, tendril and spray. why rustle this comforting rhythm. come and sit by me; sit by the chimerics, can you see. listen to its breathless secrets as you breathe into mine. reach through my eyes and touch my heart and knead every thought of mine. listen to my secrets, every pulsebeat every tremble every sprinkled thought. let time ride over the shimmering sky, like the faraway pegasus in his unhurried flight. come sit by me, and hear the stardust sing.
