Act I

We were quietly trespassing polar valleys in the night
And all this high-altitude stillwater was driving you mad
When I told you about the stars you did not comprehend
Did something in you open up?
When you learned that I burned beneath the water
A river soared toward me from your side
Had I told you not to hold back,
Would you come my way as the night went into dawn

I see you barren, beaten, and naked on earth
Walking all alone on sheer rock
As your bare foot touches the ground
Something flows in me
Right where the night falls onto glacier water
all I want is to undress your mind
Let you open me up

When we left
ice crawled up all the way to our mountain
Now you are a misplaced warden
And I, a faded fire

We are looking for solace on a foreign mountain
It will never take us
We are orphaned on two lands distant
I fear you will never leave me behind

a thousand year old silence
Frost caught our coalescence
we crown in tectonic chasms
your slumber pulling us deeper
I see you dive under
to where the earth meets its birther
and I watch as your pith ignites
like ice catching fire
Act II
what a danger it has been
sleeping in that valley with you
I could feel your hairs rising
with every stellar love affair that came to life above our heads
come the next day, you crossed the river to where I lay
arming up and taking back
the man you were when you were wild
what a feast it was to watch you against those ridges
what a heist we were, when we were young
Paramount
like two ships that pass in the night
a curiosity among glacial valleys
in an everbearing silence
with an undone love

We met in the valleys you loved more than anyone else
We met,
and it was love in the nick of time
a glimpse of what could have been
like two ships that pass in the night
the strike of a match and the fire that sparked me
the strike of your match
as you lit your cigarette
and disappeared into the valley
Years passed, we remain stillborn
I got a hundred verses
and you are still in love with the same woman
I sit in cobalt blue and wonder, if you could have matched my wild heart
