Beach Of Your Thoughts

Beach Of Your Thoughts

I cannot feel sharp arrow of true love 
piercing television screen of my heart 
so glass eye of my brain cracks fragile words 
that fall in shards of psychic butterflies 
who sing in harmony with ocean waves 
where I wander on the beach of your thoughts. 

Because I am willing to die for you 
by shielding your heart from arrow of hate, 
Venus rewards me with immortal life 
as ghost who haunts descendants of our blood 
three thousand years as empires rise and fall 
while I linger on the beach of your thoughts. 

Each generation of our children think 
I am Guardian Angel that Heaven sent 
to guide their journey to the Promised Land 
because I lead them from the danger zone 
to travel ever westward with the sun 
though I drift lost on the beach of your thoughts. 

These fragments of my scattered memories 
swirl around my spirit as autumn leaves 
on which I write strange stories of their lives 
as each new generation of our souls 
sprouts on Tree of Life, then drifts to the sea 
where I dance sad on the beach of your thoughts. 

Though we first meet in lush Almaty hills, 
filling baskets with apples of new faith, 
then ride together on horse of the wind 
to conquer the world sea to shining sea, 
I wander alone through Zarathian woods 
to search for you on the beach of your thoughts. 

While driving to work at the factory 
where I assemble television sets, 
I hear your clear voice on the radio 
wail with eerie spirit of Mercury 
to express longing for the love we lost, 
so I lament on the beach of your thoughts. 

We almost meet in vast library hall, 
browsing ancient leather-bound books of tales, 
but ache of sorrow in my wingless heart 
makes me hide in cold shadow of despair, 
and you return to your art studio 
while I sit mute on the beach of your thoughts. 

As nine-tailed fairy fox of Avalon 
I love you with sacred light of the moon, 
for though we both died millennia ago 
we live in countless children of our genes 
who see each other in bright eyes we share 
when we gather on the beach of your thoughts.
