Night of Spiritual Enlightenment
by Blackbird (1995)


Essence Frozen in Time

A tired youth rests momentarily upon a ledge,
His mind is spent beyond the edge,
Ever so briefly he leaves the world to roam,
Yet he sits here always, cold and alone...



Tukasie's Rewards

How bittersweet you appeared to be at first,
Your powerful inner beauty made my heart run dry again with thirst,

It's not easy for me to share my feelings between our minds,
I've been hurt baring my soul to others before so many times,
Yet through all of my periods of intense emotional pain,
You've always been there for me and I want this bond between us forever 
to remain,

Looking deep inside of you, sweet Tukasie,
I saw in a dream, mirrors of me...

What will it take for me to ever have the bravery,
To ask you if you'll go out on a date with me?



Restless Tears

A deer appears in a dreamed forest,
The hunter's reflective prisms dart in its direction,
Pygmalion's heart beats breathlessly within him,
and she seems so artificial, but lifelike in appearance,

Thorns are the predator's most proficient attack,
when his soul's final embers begin to rekindle,

Past campaigns have taught him wisely to plan,
capturing the loving attention of a beautiful mistress,
only to be extinguished at the focal point of inspiration,

Compensated for retribution of pain,
sometimes tears are not meant for loss,
but truly for gain...

Shimmering blue lagoons await his gentle touch,
Blessing soft lips mingled with restless tears,

While snowy white doves abandon the north for the south in droves...



The Intimates

Torn from loving embrace by the sweep of the wind,
pleasant times together lost in the rift of time,
tearing the threads of lovers tapestry that bind,
tasting upon passionate lips the scent of lime,
her kindred spirit... so kind
