A Fallen Star

A paragon perceptual

This marathon of meaning made

A past that is perpetual

The master may pretend he paid

x

The price of pain and sacrifice

A sultry sin which breeds akin

The dice do stain and yet suffice

To grant a grin as they so spin

x

Right through the air charting the chance

That demons dare to dance with you

And somewhere there a solemn stance

Is yet laid bare for death we drew

x

From decks stacked high towards the sky

As chaos cracked the common core

And worry wracked and led awry

A love that lacked a lovely lore

x

Beauty can be in you and me

A boundary that’s bounded by

A flame so free, so fiery

This game of glee, of gluttony

x

Is one I love to play with you

A sun so bright to stay alight

In push and shove and false and true

I know tonight this is my fight

x

And though I may yet mourn this day

I long to stay right by your side

This song I say is sung by fey

And so I play the part I spied

x

The thing that I was born to be

The fate that I cannot escape

The instance of duality

And so like so I then take shape

x

The course of course is static still

Remorse is not really a skill

This curse is coarse because the cage

Of verse looks like it is a stage

x

That upon which we were to stand

To watch ourselves perform this play

We love to switch from hand to hand

It helps pretend we hold some sway

x

In just which way the river flows

And who is who, for no-one knows

And where and when and what we are

A fading light, a fallen star
