Sweet Ghost of Light

Sweet ghost of light

When you appear

You fall around me

Everywhere

I see your face

As you pass by

As fragile as

A dragonfly

You jab me in

The kidneys like

A compass or

An iron spike

But I can't help

Believing you

Because I love

The things you do



Sweet ghost of light

I've lived too long

I'd die for you

Inside this song

The sweetest death

That I can dream

Like petals flowing

Down a stream

That turn to blood

As they dissolve

And it's around

You I revolve



Sweet ghost of light

You'll never fade

By nothing else

Are you betrayed

You fill me 'til

I'm empty and

You empty me

Like grains of sand

I love you more

Than anyone

Beneath the moon

Beneath the sun
