The Divine Comedy

Revel in the heartbeat
The throb of lovers schemes
The moments in eternity
In which you live your dreams
Soul arise! And take your place
Upon the golden stage
Lift the script and read the lines
You've etched upon the page
All life's a dance and we are only
Skipping to its pulse
Shed your shackles, crack your chains
Break free of what is false
All life's a piece a theatre
A masquerade, a ball
La divina comedia
So dance until you fall

You Cannot Own the Mountain

You still seek to own me
I cannot be possessed
The djinn of love, the Wild Heart
Still beats within my chest

You cannot own a mans soul
It's like owning the beach
Grasp the sand and lose it
Watch it trickle to your feet

You cannot own the mountain
Without missing its grandeur
Hubris is a foolish goal
A self inflicted slander!

The trickle of the hourglass
The ticking of the clock
Reminders of eternity
We'll meet again, just watch

Never seek to be possessed
Never seek to own
Embrace the djinns of spinning love
Whirling round my throne

Slow Dance

How long will we dance
In fear, alone
Doing this jig by ourselves
Knowing, full well
That our steps are in sync
With the other, beloved, the self
How long will we do this dance
By ourselves
Longingly staring across the room
Knowing the self
Knowing the heart
Leaving no stone unturned
How long until we do this dance
Together
Leading the other to the tune
Leading the self
To the heart, to the home
Leading the dance to the stars
