Afterwards (BBC Top Gear Session) |
You stare out in yellow eyes larger than my mind; |
In viscous pools of joy, relaxing, we glide… |
It’s all too beautiful |
For my mind to bear |
And, as we shimmer into sleep, something’s unshared. |
But, seeing the flower that was there yesterday, |
A tear forms just behind the soft peace of your shades… |
The world’s too lonely |
For a message to slip |
But between the dying rails of peace |
You trip. |
The petals that were blooming are just paper in your hand; |
Your eyes, which were clear in the night, are opaque as you stand. |
It was too beautiful |
For it to last… |
These visions shimmer and fade out of |
The glass. |
The petals that were blooming are just paper in your hand. |
