Saucerful

To the brim and a little tipped over my shoulder for luck

I drink to our todays...

As the light fades, your glow deepens

and intoxication grows

from my eyes to your heart

the silk route and the thread that's

holding ever tender emotion in place

One emotion, one alone

I'm incomplete and you are my own

In a labyrinth of my own device

I run from shadows in which

my old foe loneliness resides...

Bound by ties that run deeper than blood

our love stands testimony to all life,

mortal and beyond

And though I can find you in a million

without a trace

I know with each storm we weather

there long hundreds to join the race

The wind with each storm comes to break my stride

my galloping faith, growing forevermore

with each and every stride

From rustled leaves to nestled oblivion

to every fallen drop of dew

all are but silhouettes of you,

a mere capillary

and the blood that's you...

Drink to me sometime, your sacred cup of salvation

a victory toast to that never ending elation

the forever sensation - love

that gives life meaning...

I thirst for more, even when you leave me humbled like you do

after and before, come on, I can take some more...

People drink for varied reasons, mine is but one

I wish to see no other, when you leave my sight, my sun

I could tell you this intoxication lasts me the day

but at night I struggle when all that's brushed (aside) comes to play

I long for you again, no there is no reprieve...

Insipid believer, oh, whoever said it is a sane virtue...

You couldn't be estranged, you are the one

you could try leaving, and I would be here waiting you return

If love makes one fearless I wouldn't know
I'm a soldier marching on,  I know not what lies ahead
but I'm living yours like I've always done

The inebriated state of my love is your divinity
my big gain...

People may call those in love fools
Ah, intelligence is such despicable gain
Never trying is never knowing
what you missed is what you remained

Take these tales, they are all I have
I'll drink to them with you

I seek not sobriety, I make no tall claims

it remains to be seen if I last, when sanity is all that remains

If I ever come to my senses, I'll think about what I could do
die in this vanity or continue living in you...
