I see you

So far away

Looking like a Goddess

Driving me crazy with your

Snow coloured hair and eyes

Which seem to hold the power

Of the entire Storms of the Universe

Within them

 

I see you now

Waltzing by

Not looking at me

Not looking at my heart

And the message it is screaming to you:

Be mine

Be my heart

Be my soul

Be my love

Be my...Goddess

 

I know what you think

I know that you doubt

But know that my lips

May tell lies

But my heart never can

Yes, I made a mistake

The red in her hair was

Never the snow in yours

The green in her eyes

Was never the brown or white in yours

But.... even dreamers sometime

Have to settle for less

Have to settle for what comes along

 

I was weak

I know that now

So I let her go

I set myself free

Yet is the freedom to fall

Freedom at all?

For I have fallen many times

I have failed and I have wronged

I have tried and I have stumbled

On the way from there to here

And now I’m on my knees again

For I have fallen

Fallen in love with you

 

Come to me now

Come to me

Come into these arms

Which are aching to hold you

Come into this heart

Which have always been beating

For you and only for you

So come to me now

I beg of you Goddess

 

I see

I know

Well, then I guess

There is no more to say

No more to do

I have nothing left

I have no where to go

She didn’t see me

She didn’t hear me

I doubt she even cares

I doubt if anyone cares

For who can ever learn to love

A Cyclops?

 

A Cyclops

Is always strong

Is never wrong

Is always alone

And needs no one

Is that how you all

See me?

That all you are human

All you have the right

The right to fail, hurt and love

Just not I?

All you have the right to long

Just not I?

 

You are wrong

You have always been wrong

If just one of you

Had tried to look me

In the heart

You’ll have seen the need

You’ll have seen the want

You’ll have seen the pain

.... The loneliness

You’ll have seen...me

As I am inside and I wonder

Would you have liked what you found?

 

I always stand inside the fire

I always see red

I always stand alone

I yarn

I want

I need

I love

...I hurt

I too am like you

I too can dream

I too can watch these dreams

As they crumble to the floor

And die

But unlike you...

I have no one to help me

I have no one to pick me up

 

So I watch her

As she sassy by

Flying in a gentle breeze

And I think…

And I hope...

And I dream...

That she is different

That she wants to see

That she is wondering

Who the real me is

And today I swear

No matter if it kills me

I’ll find the truth

I’ll know...

Will she join me

And step inside the fire

Burning in me

Or will she turn away

And leave me alone

Cold and lost in

A big, big world

Which doesn’t care

Either way

 

So I go to her

My hand catches hers

I caress her cheek

I kiss the top of her head

My warm breath reaches her

As my lips speaks the truth

As I lay my soul bare

And say what is in my heart

In my heart is hope

Yet somewhere inside

There is a lost soul

A man alone

Paying that she’ll say yes

Yet fearing a no so strongly

He can taste it

 

Wind Rider, come with me

Come into my embrace

Go with me

Let us fly free

Let us live

Let us breathe

Together as one

Touch me

Let your body become one

With mine

Let me see you

Standing naked

Bathed in the silver light

Of the moon

Let me feel your copper skin

Beneath my fingertips

As they run over your body

Drawing a trail of fire

With them

 

Goddess, come to me now

Take me with you

Let me ride free with you

Take me in your love

And I swear:

I’ll worship your body

As my temple

I’ll love you true

From this day forth

Till my dying hour

I’ll be with you

From this hour

Till the last breath you take

I’ll stand by you

From this minute

Till I’m torn from your side by Deaths cold arms

I’ll protect you

From this second on

And till my body lies broken on the cold winter floor

I’ll want you

From yesterday

Till the Earth is swallowed by the sun

And there is nothing left

But my love for you

 

Ororo, come to me now

Say you want me

Say you need me

See the fire that is burning

Inside my soul and heart

See the love that I hold for you

Hidden from view

Come to me now

Come closer

Step inside the fire

And let it burn

Burn...Burn...Burn

Be with me

Even when Death separates us

Be with me always

 

Fire eyes and golden heart

That was my first thought when

I lay eyes on you

So long ago

We have gone a long way

Each going on alone

You have nothing to fear

For I dream too

For I yarn too

For I burn too

I’ll stand in the fire with you

Filled with love and filled with pride

Consume me and touch me

Come to me and join me

I’ll burn with you

So, Fire Eyes....

I’ll step into the fire

...With you

 

 

The End
