A Different Light

Kept away from sight A shrinking violet, low in fahrenheit Hard to notice with the naked eye Her cry for help disguised Though I'm an open book she turned the corner of my page An iridescent star left waiting in the wings For centre stage She treads carefully Where angels fear her rage in silence A smile shared from poles apart Would thaw the winter in our hearts Though I'm an open book she turned the corner of my page No windows and no doors her beauty is so cold, so strange I'll take a chance some day Deliberately get in her way Face to face in this real world That's more than scripted cell phone pearls Though I'm an open book she turned the corner of my page What she invokes in me can't be fathomed won't be gauged In a different light I'd be her true love - for a different light I'd love her I'd be her saviour from a beige existence - in a different light I'd love her see Her smile become a summer breeze - for a different light I'd love her Each morning wake me to a symphony - in a different light I'd love her I'd love, love, love her And shroud us in a veil of euphoria - for a different light I'd love Each new day I would adore her - in a different light I'd love her
