Two poems (not songs, just poems). Prompted by Ty for “Opposites”, and by Adrian for imagery and metaphors.
Ice
Crystal clear, these thoughts will ring
Through the fragile air of December
Beautiful silence sliced through, clean
By words echoing here forever
Lace-like dreams and misty spectres
Drifting into my days in December
Kisses of snowflakes and whispers of feathers
That touch of winter I will always remember
Frozen by your quiet voice and your serene eyes
Open to the dawns and clouds of December
That drop of sunlight at the tip of the ice
Is the key to a place I can never enter.

Fire
Dying embers deep inside glow with hope and warmth
Believing in a future of light and new starts
Keep this candle lit through the winter storm
With kind words, soft gaze, open heart
Closed eyes and held hands and warm covers and smiles
Dreams of shining suns and radiance
Fantasies of a summer when the world stopped for a while
Baskets of joy and patience
Slow songs, slow dances, in the candlelight
Roaring fires warming our lives
Deep down, I feel happiness, soaring high
Warm and gold, this courage is mine.

Set to Faye Wong’s LiuNian. Fourth chorus couplet deviates from original tune (It is AA instead of AB). Words are completely original.
Summer Night
In all our faults we find our virtues
And in our dreams we find our truths
The summer midnight sky
Is taking up my eyes
The stars shine through all these lies…
These nights are filled with bitter memories
I sew my mind closed, perfect seams.
The world, it turns so fast
That nothing good can last
And I’m just lost in my past
All these people haunting my days, lingering in my dreams
And my fortune telling never works on me
Perfect pairs and perfect futures I will never see
Wish you luck, thanks so much, now I’ll leave
My throat is hoarse from all the whispering
But I’m afraid to say these things
So I just write it down
Without any sound
And plant a seed in this ground
Friends so many but I treasure most my enemies
Because they are who can keep me truly me
Perfect words and perfect pain, I just cannot break free.
Will I ever find a reason to believe?
All these people haunting my days, lingering in my dreams
And my fortune telling never works on me
Perfect pairs and perfect futures I will never see
Wish you luck, thanks so much, now I’ll leave
~end~
