Sparkle in the Sun

Unfastened

Sparkle in the sun like shards of glass
Superbly junked
Nothing’s ever truly perfect so 
don’t let your life pass

Sing out to the moon like a cicada’s 
piercing tune
Spent enough of life in dirt to have earned
To never be silent

Sometimes I see the world like it’s
A bank truck overturned
We’re dodging certain swift demise just to prize 
some good luck from the breeze

Hold me in your arms like your warmth might
Spark me back to life
How can anybody dare to decide 
what your love might look like

We’re that twinkle
Of headlights
In a fawn’s eyes
Before we collide

Still I think we’ll
Be alright 
Should we survive
This wild ride

We have it in our power to be the 
sickle or the flower
Reap what you have sown and sow new seeds
Of loving farther

Mustn’t get too glum to not see the
splendor in the scum
Stem the flooding flow of apathy, stop
and see some beauty

Sparkle In The Sun

Smile with your eyes so that I can connect through your mask
There's a distance that's safe and I'm sure we could give this a chance
Shine through your shield; let me bask in your glow's all I ask
There's no veil can conceal the pure vision of love bleeding past

And we'll all breathe
We'll all breathe easy again

Sing through this hindrance and put your strength up to the task
We've a long way to go but I'm certain that this too will pass
Shelter in my heart if you're seeking somewhere to crash
I'm smiling wide hoping we can connect through these masks

The lines from your laugh tell this ill world it cannot hold you back
Your spark will survive; you will never be smothered by your mask

Masks

Full of Stars
Start as stardust then we'll burn until the night is brightest
We'll come together to live laugh love then turn to dust
We are made of everything that ever was and will be
One day maybe something great will come from pieces of me

You wake up holding little pieces of dreams
Fading fast, fleeting further from your heart's reach
We react wasting all too much energy
Still despite living don't forget to just be

Start as stardust then we'll burn until the night is brightest
We'll come together to live laugh love then turn to dust
We are made of everything that will be and ever was
One day maybe something great will come from pieces of us

You wake up smiling and cuddle closer to me
You are the best morning that I've ever seen
Every bit, beauty, altogether blinding
We are stars shining through the darkness between

I wake up holding little pieces of dreams
Fading fast, fleeting further from my heart's reach
I am left wanting a perfect memory
You are left holding all the pieces of me

Endeavour to challenge your heart
Discover what you wanted


Full of Stars

Space
I'm way too eager and she's far too meager
For some that's enough but for me I'm insatiable
I'm waking up to the fire in my heart
For a lava lamp love, or a molten core girl
I need it to feel like a million degrees
Where her warm embrace radiates like nuclear waste
I'm way too hot to be chilled by your icicles
Temperature's raising to temper your freeze

Bundle up, it's cold out there, when you're all alone

I'd prefer hugs were like quantum entanglement
Close enough has never felt close enough for me
We'll come together like one singularity
Infinite oneness, there's no more you no more me
Wrap yourself around me like a spiraling galaxy
Our fusion will fold space and time like our sheets
I'm waking up wishing you'd light me up
With one smoldering look that would set me ablaze

I’m waking up to the fire in my heart for you
I’ll burn forever or rise from the ashes for you
