For All The Love I Have In Me...

So may this be the me that had lost his will or trust in the light, in my journey to whoever that longs for me still
In both the darkness and light we shall forever seek to embrace each other though far or wide we seem to be
But for me to touch the skin so golden in the warmth of the afternoon rain then maybe this is the heaven that I never knew existed
For all the power of God and the Love that He'd give us still, and this is such a lonely boy deep within me who yearns for another smile

So shine now the light so I can follow you through the thick of the night, for the forest of silence and the valley of the void I have traversed alone
And alone I would wish for no one to suffer from it like the way that I still do, and for this I bequeathe another frost covered goblet filled with mead for the thirsty one in me
So that may it be that we could be together before the deathly fires of the sky they'd light up my days with pain and torment, to wither and die for one more day
To me in this journey for all the wealth and prizes of life that may or may not be offered to me, how weary I am now to tread it alone!

And now on the eve of the death of a child and the birth of all reason, will there be the one who would consecrate this lifeless body for the greens and the posy filled meadow?
Or maybe this silenced minstrel be a-finding himself so sighing loudly to himself again? For all the love I have in me to the one who could lead me away from this funeral
And into the veils of gold of yet another beautiful day that I've since given up on, or so it may seem to be right now, (forsooth I knew nothing of my heart yet my feelings fueled me for long!)
Towards what ends indeed for this ageing little boy on the journey towards damnation of being the one with only his memory as his company, with a dream of a kiss to set me for free...
