The Invocation of Distant Souls: To my Future Self
I want you to remember this moment, remember this moment
It’s the reason your dreams ferment, this moment of torment
Of broken hearts, the enriching feeling of butterflies, and oh the laughter in your gaze
radiating through the shadow of darkness, remember the crushing lies, the prickly maze
the impending clarity, remember this moment, remember this moment...
he said,
Of broken promises, of shattered dreams and deceiving hearts and new beginnings
"You're stronger than the wallowing self-pity" they said, and too young to be
broken, and oh so pretty, but you knew that this was the beginning
the beating of the drums, the enchanting invocation of distant souls
Remember this moment, the reasons that your dreams ferment, the laughter in your eyes
the fading of darkness into light, the merging of two souls, against the sorrows of the night
Remember, remember this moment that you fell in love with me...but I woke up to a beautiful lie
mesmerizing eyes, the fermenting of my dreams, my heart always in conundrum
with the rumblings of distant souls, the perpetual whisper in my ears
" I want you to remember this moment" he says
Of shattered dreams, candlelight dinners, puppets and heartstrings, jokers and kings in the same deck
the dying of the light, the impending dawn
"Remember this moment" I whisper silently into the night, the beginnings of the rumblings of a distant ancestor and the dying,
the dying of the light, a lone figure shrouded in the darkness of the light.
