    DAY AFTER

    Breakup

    trapped within your silence

    with whom can i confide

    my innervision

    infused with interpretations

    of false pride

    i cogitate

    and deliberate

    on the fickle nature of our fate

    rate

    our current reality

    to the fantasy we anticipate

    fashionably late

    to the premier starring you and i

    and though we try

    for the hereafter

    we face the day after

     

    seducing the sensitvity

    of our sacred fire

    as the limitations of our love

    expires

    consigned to vanity of the bonfire

    acrid smoke rising

    with the reprisal

    of our vows

    yet we exist here and now

    with on one to show us how

    to forgive

    and forget

    and disagree with self respect

    once upon a dream

    was the hereafter

    now we live with day after

     

    the wine taste rather sour

    no time for it to ferment

    placing alms upon the polished marble

    of our altar of discontent

    i am praying

    while men are baying

    at the light of your harvest moon

    when we greet

    in the heat 

    of june

    i wonder if our love song will be out of tune

    our love that fate once begot

    now like the petals 

    of a forget me not

    feels like hell

    so very hot

    but it is the end of our hereafter

    and the reality of our day after

     

    vermillion

    cotillions

    billions and billions

    inhabit this wretched earth

    yet only you

    my dear i adore

    when i open 

    my hearts door

    i slip on the wine

    you once carelessly poured

     

    am i a child 

    of the dying spirit

    or the clone of a living beast

    our earth in the path of celestial bodies

    our love will very soon cease

    cant live without you

    living with you intesifies my pain

    ultimately true love

    we defame

    devolving into adversaries

    passing blame

    our friends cry

    oh the shame

    when love is a losing game

    a faithless based faith

    believing in the hereafter

    yet dying for the day after

     

    mere words can only hope 2 define

    exact moments 

    within the limits of time

    trapped by the spectrum of light

    the prism of our fears confine

    are you fully aware

    how much love i once pledged to thee

    do you know the fates once  shouted

    beware

    of weaving my love to your destiny

    now what becomes of me

    i cant see

    the man

    or the cross

    a faithless faith now lost

    never again

    will i pen 

    visions of the hereafter

    when our love expired 

    the day after
