Second Wish Upon A Star

Golden is the colour of the night bathed in lights

Of the dark tarmac shining under headlights

Golden is the dream I dream of you in the darkest of nights

Of your smooth words whispered in my ears before far "Goodnights"

Golden is the last intoxicating, swirling sip on my fingertip

Golden the warmth that spreads to every end, every tip

Golden, the liquid luck that gives my heart fillip

Golden, even the white lies that spill from your lip

Golden is the carpet in which I curl my toes

Golden the courage that fills me as I reach up to you on tiptoes

Golden butterflies aflutter within me as you bend low

Golden the soulful strains of a song so slow

Golden the starlight from the star I wished upon

Golden the face of the curious moon trying to catch on

Golden the binds of the curtain that unfurl

Keeping our secret safe.

Wish upon a star

The intoxicating smell of cigarettes
Electric sounds of your fingers against the guitar
Looking into the glass in my hands
The swirling liquid like golden lights on a dark night
Words & giggles, laughter and silliness
This isn't me, not what I do
Good Sense, to thee I bid adieu
Take another sip to wash away any regrets

Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight
Looking up at the sky wistfully
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Oh please, make my wish come true tonight
Light breeze, curtain aflutter
I gaze out the window, singing to myself
Sometimes wishes made upon a star
Do see the light of day

Dream or drunken mistake or worse, neither
Now, awake and aware, befriending Nonchalance
Unwinding, like a stuck cassette,
Dim and hazy, that night I cannot forget
Detailed and clear – the memory
I just don’t want to forget
But that's all it'll remain
It'll be a secret, between Silence and I
