Gold Star
I combed the mid-day meadows
To find your dappled kiss
The sweet, delicious, melting mouth
And flavors, You, I miss
I sought a vow eternal
In the Book of Sad Goodbyes
But found instead ...
A gold star by your name
I swam the fathomless abyss
That swirls within your eyes
To find the wellspring of your soul
And thwart its sad demise
I sought your truth's exclusion
From the Book of Grand Deceit
But found instead ...
A gold star by your name
I searched the August moonlight
To find your China skin
Your soft and secret places
That burn with callow sin
I sought to glean your absence
From the Book of Treachery
But found instead ...
A gold star by your name
Oh how I longed to stem the tide
Of "I promise!" from your lips
The drowning flood of tempting tales
That like cold poison, dripped
I sought our love's omission
From the Book of Twisted Truths
But found instead ...
A gold star by your name ...
A star that puts all other stars ... to shame.
