let the flame live for another night

by White Angel*Cancer - Not entered


let us go
but do not ask where
and do not say no
for thy lovers heart is a flake of snow
take care not to melt it with sorrow
help me sustain this heart
so i can meet thy lovely eyes again tomorrow
but for a beloved, to be ignorant is to be wise
and a woman in love must not think twice
for submission is for lovers the best advice
resistance will but deny thee, the sights of Paradise
among the darkness of the night
follow me and be led by the moonlight
the night shrouds the departed world
it's a body that hast lost its soul
the stars shimmer upon that dark dish
they appear and depart as an unattainable wish
but do not yearn for them
for wishes are not to be had, but only to be wished
the night wears a frown
and fear is but the night's gown
but fear not dear, for we are all alone
and thou art not a maiden in distress
thou art but my beloved, i must confess
the wind caresses the woods and the wild
the leaves rustle as a naughty child
the trees stand a towering mile
and without a lament or a sigh
the dew drops stare at thee like a million eyes
for they have to disappear in the morn and die
but neither will they wink, nor will they smile
and there are also the creatures of the dark
for we, who can see the light
are graced with the dark at night
but those blind to the light
at night are blessed with sight
so beware of their watchful eyes
this darkness hides the truth as well as the lies
the path we tread is as a serpent uncoiled
but if thou must know dear
it leads to a brook where lovers are exiled
surrender thy tender hand
and let my hand be thy sight
tread softly and do stay close beside
tread as thou would while walking on the sea's tide
but let us settle here, where I can see the moonlight
be the clear water and the moon's stare
i implore thee to hold thy peace
open thy eyes and kill thy sleep
look at me and let my love into thy eyes seep
but let me speak on dear
hold thy hand to my bosom, not to my lips
feel my heartbeats as the water drips
raising concentric ripples in thy heart
unlike water, in which they are soon to depart
and let them be thy heart's consort
the silence hides in our shadow's delight
and in lover's lane does it espy
upon two silhouettes in the moonlight
whisper a word and watch the silence die
for none can let it perturb two love birds in flight
but from where comes this sparkle so bright
but did i see in thy eyes the love light
for thy eyes have a tender colour shown
and thy voice takes on a delectable tone
and thy lips utter a mutinous moan
surely thou art but an impatient beloved
and what fate holds for thee cannot be said
but true love overcomes fates slow tread
that destiny is dead you will be able to tell
when the love inside thy heart rebels
and thy tender kiss converts the Heaven to Hell
but not now love, for i have more to say
but look at thee, thou art a woman
and never did a woman surrender on her own
ye like to be conquered, so no one knows
and defences thou hast none
and yet ye pretend to be stronger than anyone
but a woman's dilemmas are many
confess of thy love and lose thy self-esteem
lose it and fulfill thy dream
or pretend thou are not what thou may seem
the moon gives a grimace
i see, it grows envious of thy glowing face
for in thy presence its gleams are lost without a trace
and lock thy lips love
for the echoes of thy melodious call
makes the nightingales look small
the water murmurs secret songs of the deep alone
listen to it, for it might of some hidden treasure tell
or of lovers on whom some misfortune befell
or it might say that, i am the beau for this belle
take it in thy white hand
and let it flow, as pearls in a strand
it seems these drops are from some dreamland
touch the water and make it divive
hold it to thy lips and turn it to wine
wine was made for lovers and poets
for the rest God made the water saline
the pebbles thou see, are but diamonds in deep slumber
but colder then the dark nights of November
the shine that belongs to the diamonds
the drowsy night now keeps
but thy eyes glitter, when the diamonds go to sleep
but do tell me
hast thou descended from the Heaven above
a white angel that opossed the Lord
defied the warlord's Heavenly abode
fell from the sky as a single spark
and sank into my heart like the song of the skylark
but fear not his furious flames
for when he floods the land with the water and the dark
i will escape with thee in Noah's Ark
and in my arms thou shalt on an endless journey embark
but now, wilt thou give a smile for thy lover
and promise to be in my arms forever
but behold this rosiness
they cheeks bloom like no flower did ever
thy skin is softer than thy silken clothes
and my breath has never been so close
to play with thee, as the butterflies play with the rose
and i can hear more than just mere words
can discern thy whispers, thy heartbeats and thy moans
can perceive thy arms like my own
let my words into thy dreams perish
for these are the moments thou wilt cherish
when i am no more to fulfill thy every wish
thy lamenting lips will afford, but one kiss
but then there will be none to be had
and none to be missed
lying in my amorous arms
thy head on my bosom rests
like the sun, that now lies serene in the West
but thy arms know no rest
they creep as two serpents upon my breast
and mould into one at the spine
and ensnare my body in an intimate arrest
it seems thou art by my love possessed
and i am but in thy sweet caress
thy garments steal all thy warmth
but thy lover is content with thy never ending charm
inflame my heart in this frigid night of November
with sparks from thy hearts embers
and awaken my soul from its slumber
i can hear thy heartbeats run on my own
and talk of things that only heartbeats know
the viens on thy breast run like streams in the snow
and thy aroma dissipates into my body
as venom, that kills but slow
thy locks fall carelessly, as water upon the seashore
silk threads that weave a web around me
and imprison my heart more and more
weave thy locks around me until i seem
to be thy silken sweet dream
thou hast the eyes that can stir a storm
and smiles that surpass the sun's warmth
thou hast the beauty, thou hast the charm
it seems i have held Heaven in my arms
and love has invaded thy heart, but in a guise
for it is made of dreams from Paradise
and let thy lover's lures thy dreams adorn
forget thy sorrows and thy qualms
be as wise as the child unborn
and lie in my arms like a sleeping swan
and awaken to find that i have made thee
as young as the first light of dawn
