Let me in
I whisper to your old feverish memories in this semi-darkness
Between these two great voids
Separating me and you and so many others
By ethereal panes of shattered glass filled with tangible strands of much-loved recollections
So I can once again cross the deep oceans of Hippocampus
Flying for days and nights under its episodic sunshine and rocky shores
So I can warm you with my old love
For I will never stop and as you listen to this wherever you are
My hearts whispered secretive spells will forever yell
To reach that forbidden place to the living
That stays hidden as it holds you in its tight grip of a new seclusion
I can only pray my words are carried to lay before your new eyes
By this grey smoke gushing from my incense candle in these rushing four winds
Which will find a way to bind you to me again
So we can continue what we once found in this lifetime
A beautiful treasure called a meeting of similar minds
