Lili Haydn , Saddest Sunset
i enjoyed parts of Californication..laughed a lot.
text:
Tonight might be the saddest sunset
It's time to walk this road alone
And though the darkness has fallen
It can change in an instant
'Cause the light that you're longing for
Is your own
It's hard when no one hears you calling
Who will catch you if you fall
And though the waters are rising
We all leave and come in alone
And the love that you're longing for
Is your own
And the love that you're longing for
Is your own
I would take you
I would take you
i would
take you,
bitter
root, and
bed you on
ice
for a long long sleep
when i will
wake you, listen,
the
chirp of swallows
feeding
their young,
i’d rinse
you clean
between my
hands.
i will hold
the sun
and the waters of river
and shimmering lakes
and shimmering lakes
and i’d plant you
tenderly
and firm
in earth
and clay,
you, you bud
of light,
light throbbing in
your
naked arms
and stem,
bitter will
grow sweet.
o i want
you to green
i take you
in my liquid
molten streaming heart,
take all,
take all and
grow a
flaming rose.
yes, in the
first drop
of dew we
will meet
and shine
together,
and when
your petals
sink and fall,
I’ll go
with you,
the light,
to rest in
night
until the
rising
until the
rising.
a poem of silence
poem of
silence
so calm ,
so calm the sea,
when i will die.
i will be
free, so free,
with the
winds to fly.
to die was but
to learn
undoing the
knots,
to throw
away shoes,
forgetting
lines and dots,
to dance
barefoot without feet
among the
laughter of trees,
jumping up,
jumping down,
i forgot
days, nights, blues.
the ashes, the
bark, the spark
gently
rocking in my boat,
i only gave
a little push,
now watch
it float and float.
soon it
will sink through
this shimmering
mirror,
all will be
solved,
no grain in
the sieve.
a curious
bird
will flap
its wings
and turn to
see,
nothing but ocean.
when we
will die,
I will have
no name,
go from where i came,
the breath,
the soil, the silence
so calm the
sea, so calm,
when i will
die,
at night in
sleep
maybe a faint
humming
so very
calm.
still.
silence.
