Cocoa to Midnight

Oh my eyes,

I saw the light

round,

spherical,

brown to midnight.

Golden through the sand,

each flicker

is a moment with you.

Will you tell me if this is a dream?

Oh the nights,

will be freezing,

be freezing.

But it’s getting warmer

and I’m getting closer.

To your destination,

it’s only a few moments away

with out you.

I feel your breath,

right next to mine.

ooo I swear,

I will never let you go.

If you were the last,

I think I would know.

Oh all this time

has changed.

The balance

is lifting me forward,

and now everyone has an opinion.

Maybe I shouldn’t have cut my dreams away,

Because I cut my life short-

I cut my life short,

and it felt like I needed a moment,

an escape,

a resting place.

Oh will I be there in this life?

will I see your eyes,

flicker,

in the mourning.

Oh will I be alive?

to see this story

of love

shift to an epiphany.

Will we intertwine?

Oh will we untangle?

untangle

untangle.

I don’t know?

I don’t know!

The leaves are of cocoa

and the mud on the ground

is freezing.

It’s freezing.

Oh it’s cracking now

for the sun

has given a rose.

And I know that I can be,

a little bit pushy

with you Aphrodite.

Will I wake up?

To your eyes.

Will the light

shine through mine?

Do I see our

dessert sands?

Oh will time

be a moment passing,

passing us by?

Oh will I be with you?

Cocoa to midnight.
