Pledge the Silver Stars
Flying thoughts and stumbling feet
Nervousness my stranger meets...
Know him from my torrid dreams
Not a when but rather who;
Turning in my skirts for you-
Kindred spirit; did we know?
Fluid laughs and clever words,
That I've met you seems absurd:
Lifetime to a lost soulmate
Then I'll never run in wind-
Breath of air breathes into him;
Falling from a foreign place
Do you speak my language, sir?
Was my heartbeat but a blur,
To a blue-eyed searching gaze?
Fireworks that don't combust;
Takes a lie to earn my trust:
Wonder in your past remarks
What it was I've done to lose
Word of love from him; I choose
Filter to disguise my shame
Ballroom has me hypnotized
Seems to weep when I decide
Curtsy to this golden prince
As he makes his way to me
My mind screaming, "You must leave,"
Yet my body won't obey-
Now as I remain in place
He reaches out to my face,
And finally I will say
"I saw you across the floor-
Was afraid to speak once more
Of how I've been drawn to you,"
Then he stands and contemplates;
Trace his features while I wait-
None will hold this moment's hand
"Nothing is as it may seem,
I have seen you in my dreams:
Now I have you in my sight;
Be prepared to stay with me
Truth has turned my fantasy-
We are pieces of a whole,"
From that moment on we twirled-
Saved each other from the world;
Eternity was a day
