Please smile your eyes to the rhythm <br />Of your heart and your heart alone <br />Watch as the night grows darker <br />And the moon turns into stone <br /> <br />You’re the dream of a dream of a dreamer <br />You’re the spell of a wizardly man <br />And the curse of a star that’s fallen <br />Into a dreamer’s hands <br /> <br />But a flower is only a flower <br />As long as the color can stay <br />And the morning comes in storming <br />To chase the night away <br /> <br />So sleep the sleep of the children <br />And steal the wise of the old <br />Then love with the fire of summer <br />And die with the winter’s cold <br /> <br />And you can curse the world for being <br />You can love and always regret <br />But don’t love for the sake of loving <br />Or love to simply forget. <br /> <br />But there was never a smile worth cursing <br />When the night was a light shade of blue <br />And there was never a time worth doubting <br />That the night was inside of you<br /><br />Ben Paynter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-we-watched-as-the-moon-turned-to-stone/
