should i take myself back
to the night we stood
in a crossroad under cypress trees
when you illumined me
in this we are ageless
in this we are deathless
if you’d ask i’d sleep eternally
to feel you lie beside me
every
evening
light wanes
my heartbeat speeds
when i watch you move, Selene (i know that you have found)
an electric, argent dream (my secret places)
and you are (and i’m)
waxing (waning)
shining (bleeding)
green eyes and raven-haired sheen
i need you so, Selene (i know your phases now)
for now and ever after
when you
say i have a presence
say you know of absence
when the stars all fade so
easily
and if i were a painter
could my brushes capture
your face in crimson
near totality
eclipsing other mysteries
if you
find me
on my knees howling
let me howl, Selene (just say you’ll have me now)
my spirit’s running loose (we’re both completed)
you set me (when we’re)
chanting (holding)
reeling (feeling)
don’t lay it off
when you yourself it seems (when daylight will allow)
suffer from the same madness
as me
and i’d reprise my role
once again become a worshipper
build up bonfires and sacrifice
i’d divine and i’d defer
evening
light wanes
my heartbeat speeds
when i watch you move, Selene (i’m your Endymion)
an electric, argent dream (i know you love me)
and you are (when you’re)
waxing
shining
green eyes and raven-haired sheen
i need you so, Selene (i know your phases now)
for now and ever after
need you
if you
find me
on my knees howling
let me howl, Selene (i’m your Endymion)
my spirit’s running loose (we’re both completed)
you set me (when we’re)
chanting
reeling
don’t lay it off
when you yourself it seems
suffer from the same madness
as me
