Contrast

To Wait for Love

I am a star, a silver pinprick of light

Buried in the murky depths of heaven's ceiling

Do not be my city lights and let me shine

Clear and without hindrance

I want to draw my own horizon

With another star as bright as me

Don't erase my light of virgin hope

And leave me a gaping black maw

Let me make a constellation

With my loved one in the annals of time

Let me blaze out in splendor

Not alone but side by side

If all it takes is time, then I shall wait, for anticipation will make it taste all the more sweeter.

O.O

Not To Wait

Dare I dream of impossibilities

To hold fire in my hands

My heart sings to me but it's a siren's call

I want to leap into an abyss

And fly

Tentative wings on my back

But will I just be another Icarus

And do I dare to hope

Of things that shouldn't even be for me

I dare to fling my arms forward

Reaching for something that isn't mine

The fire will brand my heart

And the abyss will tear my legs apart

And I will plummet from the heavens

Eyes blown wide with agony

But will I be giddily delighted

A wild and untamed being

Fierce joy unfurling in me?

For is it worth it to dare

To follow the siren's call

And though my wings have gone

Will I regret

Feeling what it was like for a moment

To fly?
