snowflakes

Theres a castle

Up there

Somewhere

Under the full golden shine

Of the city at night

Mirroring its figure 

On the cold coal river

Its that sound

Of different shaped shoes

Some old, some new

Clicking into the vast space

And everyone has a tug in their hearts

We all have a story

But nobody tells me theirs

So I don't tell mine

I wanted to visit the forest 

With the heated green leaves

And fussy moths like snowflakes 

under warm evening lamps

dripping with light

But the thought of unknown black

In a city filled with tune and sound

Held me back

And as the strangers pass

I am the warmed one

Lighted and dripping

Like a teapot

I pour down and down

Inside myself

And the people they walk and chat

They hum and laugh and hug

And they are lovely with eachother 

And it hurts

When you don't

And your lovelies

Are not around that streetcorner

anymore

Or up on that castle

Or swimming in the river

And in golden light on frozen nights

You have to search

New eyes

And hopefully

One or two smiles

And yourself

Be an evening lamp light

Wanting snowflakes 

To fall on your crown
