What are you waiting for?
Lost out of time and searching for truth within the lies
The Jester's torment culminates as he's divided in light
Desperately searching through the eons for his missing Queen
The presence of absence burns about everything that he sees
The stars gaze down on the world in apathetic bliss
Whilst elsewhere, in the dark, the Jester draws breath
Drawing himself up to his height, he sets about in search
Nothing feels right and he needs something to make sense
Through the caverns he strides, his feet fall in a clamor
The earth seems determined to swallow him, body and soul
Faster, his feet fly, desperately seeking escape and the light
Lost in the warrens of deception, a hint of something ahead
He falls out upon the fields bathed in the softness of night
Lost out of time and searching for the purest truth within the lie
The Jester's torment makes itself real in the quietness of night
Desperately searching through the millenia for his Queen
The presence of her absence flares around everything
And his heart beats less deeply as breath comes with pain
So he closes his eyes and searches for himself in the rain
The stars gaze down and taunt him with false light
Waves of nothing extend as far as the eye can discern
A deep breath and a whim and off to his right he goes
As he walks, he wonders if perhaps he causes the world to turn
Wandering on through the night, he hums himself to hope
Glimpsing teasing images of her face in the shadows of dark
Stumbling to a halt as something catches his eyes to the north
The slightest brightening of the horizon, a glimmer of a spark
Turning his path to the sight, he moves with new purpose
Heart hammering faster as his feet spring into a run on their own
Headlong, he parts the grass as the wind, cutting through
Determination etched in his eyes as he seeks to find his way home
Lost out of time while seeking the truth of the lies
The Jester's torment haunts him as the light divides
Desperately hunting through the ages for his Queen
The presence of her absence kills his everything
His mind closes off as he ignores the false dawn
Focused on the quest as his feet carry him further on
The stars snicker silently as he stumbles ever on
So content in their brilliance as they settle in rest
Doggedly, he drags himself to his feet yet again, jaw set
Refocusing on the light in the darkness, his heart flutters in his chest
Just over the rise, the glow seems to consume the night
The softest edges shredding the tendrils of the terrors they bind
Terrified of hope, he slows nearly to a crawl as he draws near
Anxious seems such a small word when lost in the sands of time
Around the bend, the tease of breezes on his cheek, he could swear
Breathing stops as he arrives, his heart silent for the first he can recall
Supine in sleep, her beauty seems to breathe life into itself
Brushing the hair from her sleeping face, the darkness around him falls
Lost out of time, he seeks the truth in the midst of lies
The Jester's torment rescinding as she opens bluest skies
Desperate longing seems nothing as he gazes at his Queen
The presence of her absence a fleeting memory of feeling
Hopelessly lost, he embraces the promise of a smile on her lips
Drowning in a rapture too pure for words as she steals a kiss
The stars shimmer jealously as the Queen rises from her sleep
Radiance emanating from her eyes as the night withdraws in fear
The Jester gazes about in wonder as the flowers burst into life
Breathing comes harder as she rises and pulls him ever near
The time becomes nothing as she steals his air with her lips
Surrendering it all willingly, he presses her tightly to his soul
Dawn and shadow wage war on the verge of the horizons all around
An aurora of color and heat and light as they burn out of control
The stars retreat in terror as the heat builds evermore
The Jester and his Queen desperate for this moment, this very now
Celestial collisions on a universal scale as the day burns forth
Waves evaporating on distant shores condensing into the darkest clouds
Lost out of time seeking to be consumed in her eyes
The Jester's torment is as nothing as the light divides
Desperate to hold on as he loses himself in his Queen
The presence of her absence was the absence of everything
Drowning in the fire, he dances inside the flames of bliss
Lost, out of time, fully hers-and she his-as they deepen the kiss
Drained and complete, the Queen curls into his arms
All is well as the day burns brightly away for a time perfectly
Silently, as he sleeps, she smiles her smile and dances off again
Tears flow quietly as she laughs, blazing ever brighter in her fury
To have and not hold forever, what misery and despair
To want nothing so much, but surrender, lest he come to be burned
She flees over the horizon and cries herself to sleep again
Furious at the universe and the stars and the pain he must endure
Lost, out of time, he awakens with a startled cry
The Jester's torment renews as the light again divides
Questing for the horizon and the promise of his Queen
Hating the night and the stars as he seeks to bring back the dawn
*Just cuz eventually she'll read it, and probably smile a little :)*
