Of Aching Empty Pain

Twenty years I've wished
 To know my place
 A hunt for peace
 An endless war
 Still I ran toward
 The throes of death
 'Til I felt the warmth
 Of her chest
 I heave and sigh
 And reach and writhe
 'Til at last I'm home
 And can see her
 Dancing
 She looks at me with
 Screaming eyes
 Twirling
 Calming motions
 Gentle sighs
 (I am lost), lost
 Lost in untold pleasures
 (In secret worlds)
 Where once we dwelt
 Flaming
 Enveloped in her fire
 Scorching
 I no longer feel the pain
 (Here I'll stay)
 Swaddled in her blazing fire
 (I shall remain)
 Swinging, swaying
 Where she is
 Dancing in the darkness
 Tempted by her touch
 Screams impale the silence
 Running carelessly into the fray
 Who can make the willful stay?
 Can you tell me, what did she say?
 That she'd give her life away?
 And though I know
 Days are dark and filled of woe
 May your countenance never show
 What the child inside you knows
 O ageless fount of youth
 The heavens for you sigh
 Reveal thy shape, O formless one
 For ages have I wandered
 For aeons have I cried:
 Walk with me, O Winged Mother
 Dancing
 She looks at me with
 Screaming eyes
 Twirling
 Calming motions
 Gentle sighs
 (I am lost), lost
 Lost in untold pleasures
 (In secret worlds)
 Where once we dwelt
 Flaming
 Enveloped in her fire
 Scorching
 I no longer feel the pain
 (Here I'll stay)
 Swaddled in her blazing fire
 (I shall remain)
 Swinging, swaying
 Where she is
 Twenty years I've wished
 To know my place
 A hunt for peace
 Decades of war
 Still searching for a soul
 I hope you know
 I hope you're there
 Where dreams at last prevail
 Where fear is met with laughter
 Where promise cannot fail
 I hope you know
 My heart is there
 In the damp and misty air
 Where still the scent of morning
 Hangs softly in your hair
 I hope you know
 My heart is yours
 My angel of repose
 My only fleeting solace
 Of this aching, empty pain
