Sparkling Rays - A Sequel to Starry Night

Shower of sparkling rays

On my dreamy face

Tear-smudged, messy hair

Wishing you were there.

Lost in your embrace

Bewildered by your gaze

Dumb-struck I stand

When I feel you by my hand.

Do I laugh? Do I cry?

Seeing you sitting by

Pinching myself to believe

Till I can relieve.

Starry nights without you

Now I breathe all new

The shower of sparkling rays

Amazing me through the haze!

Starry Night

All alone on a starry night, was I

Not like I had none before

Longing for your arms around, was I

Waiting for you at the door.

My heart said it was hard

To learn that you left me

And then fell apart

Broken in anguish to be.

Love, it was, never a joke

Being with you was better than dope

Now I'm made to carry this yoke

All in vain and no hope.

All alone on a starry night, again

I stand - wiping my tears - bold

Your love shall I never regain

Your hands shall I never hold.

Inspiration

Sometimes we read

Sometimes we listen

Sometimes we see

Sometimes we recall

Sometimes it's just the person next door

Sometimes it's a random person down the street

Sometimes it's a long lost friend

Sometimes it's the one we hate the most

Sometimes in the cold mornings

Sometimes in the warm nights

Sometimes in you

Sometimes in me

Sometimes for seconds

Sometimes for an eternity

To be inspired, it doesn't take long

To learn from it, sure does.
