Glistening in Blooming Sunlight

A Boy With Roses

My smile is tainted with the nostalgia I feel                                                                      

Pale blues swimming in my eyes 

 

In the night I see shadows posing under streetlights                                                  

Streets lit by faint moonlight                                                                                      

Burning echoes incidentally dancing in the dark                                                                      

All those men and women living forever in our hearts                                                    

Fell apart like the notes of a song                                                                                      

And we tried to put them back together                                                                                

But the ship never returned, never felt the same                                                                  

So we take our place, our feet on the floor with no care                                                

She says my drinking is bad                                                                                              

She knows my order like the lines on her palm                                                                

And I smile back, but it's tainted 

 

I see you there, glaring in black and white photos                                

And I couldn't relate to you anymore                                                                                      

The warm summer breeze flowing through                                                                          

The words we leave behind, oh how I loved you                                                                

Our legs entwined in brotherhood                                                                                

And I know the years have been unkind to you                                                    

Knowing you                                                                                                        

Glistening in blooming sunlight

 

My smile is tainted with the nostalgia I feel                                                                      

Pale blues swimming in my eyes.
