Soft Caresses in the Night
By,
Ki-chan
The night air blurs around me
I cannot hear a sound
Save for a voice that lures me
Into the underground
Misty waters beckon
I cannot ignore their pleas
Calling to me softly
A tremble in my knees
Amid the haunting melodies
Adrift into the night
Wondering what or who
Was the cause of my flight
A shadowy shore awaits me
And candles light the way
Somewhere in the darkness
Calming music plays
A dark abode greets me
And from somewhere in the mist
A figure plays that melody
And I know I can't resist
There's trepidation in my walk
And sweat upon my brow
Yet somehow I know this man
Tho' I've not seen him until now
And even now he's but a shadow
A stranger still to me
Is he my angel of music?
My angel...my angel can this be?
Intent he plays upon those keys
He gestures me to sing
I lift me voice for this man
Who has taken me beneath his wing
And then a flicker from a candle
Reflects upon a mask
I wonder what he needs to hide
Tho' I know I cannot ask
Looking back now, I feel regret
For my thoughtless act
I didn't mean to cause him pain
I'd like to take it back
But I can't undo the past
Tho' now I wish I could
I treated my angel so coldly
My angel....who was good
A man who lived outside us all
And only wished to be
Near to his own angel
His angel ...who was me.
