Musical Language



Aqueous vapour condenses liquid dreams,
I spill atmospheric delight under stars:
whistled explosions; futuristic cool scenes,
musical language plays nature's lead guitars.

Insane twirls inside drops of passionate rain,
champagne drips slip from the sky's dark domain.

Showered imagery sings while it glides on wings;
fluttering sighs; heavy with circular notes,
heavens are opened, cymbals laughingly ring,
the dance of wise beauty it quietly floats.

Insane twirls inside drops of passionate rain,
champagne drips slip from the sky's light domain.

I can't complain, contain emotions again,
there's no refrain as hair goes wildly insane.

Insane twirls inside drops of passionate rain,
champagne drips slip from the sky's dark domain.

I can't complain, contain emotions again,
there's no explanation within this fine brain.

Pitter-patters are welcomed within love's grin,
refreshment is here, now I am cleansed from sin.
