LARGESSE IN FORMS DIVINE

Copyright 2014 – Robert E. Shandor

Aimless action
Gains in traction
Leading to complete distraction

Always yearning
Heart-a-burning
In endless circles I keep on turning
This way

Chimeric towers
Strewn with flowers
Lost forever to rampant powers

Hiding chances
Inside of dances
There behind your sidelong glances
I stay

We’re trapped inside our separate ways
With nowhere left to turn
We’ve fallen off the path of days
Now in the moon we burn
We cannot find our visions lost   
Of empathy and pain
We let ourselves ignore the cost
Of focusing on gain

Now there’s nothing more to do
Than drowning in the sound
Of heartbeats melting deep into
A pool of thoughts profound
As we tumble, over-end
Down some steep decline
And hope for morning to extend
Largesse in forms divine --
Largesse in forms divine
A-h-h-h, A-h-h -- A-h-h-Ah-Ah, H-a-a-h
Largesse in forms divine --
Largesse in forms divine

Vacant playgrounds
Crashing comedowns
Dreams of everlasting rebounds

Mordant insight
Spawned at midnight
Demanding for a hidebound rewrite
Today

Heightened senses
Lowered fences
Yielding less than weak defenses

In the mirror’s
Silvered detours
With little chance of gaining recourse     
I stay

We’re trapped inside our separate ways
With nowhere left to turn
We’ve fallen off the path of days
Now in the moon we burn
We cannot find our visions lost   
Of empathy and pain
We let ourselves ignore the cost
Of focusing on gain

Now there’s nothing more to do
Than drowning in the sound
Of heartbeats melting deep into
A pool of thoughts profound
As we tumble, over-end
Down some steep decline
And hope for morning to extend
Largesse in forms divine --
Largesse in forms divine
A-h-h-h, A-h-h -- A-h-h-Ah-Ah, H-a-a-h
Largesse in forms divine --
Largesse in forms divine
