Five Years…

A Thousand Years
A thousand years
A thousand more
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years
A thousand wars
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears
A million breaths
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads
A million fears
A million suns
Ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies
A million songs
A million rights
A million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth
A single light
A single thought
A singular touch of grace
Then following this single point
This single flame
The single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
I may be numberless
I may be innocent
I may know many things
I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortunes child to judge anothers crimes
Or wear this pilgrims cloak or be a common thief
Ive kept this single faith
I have but one belief
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
Until you
Love me..
