Rip Down the Curtain
A curtain draped over my mind
Flea-bitten
Hanging by a tentative thread
It fell and I laughed
Brushing the cobwebs from the corner of the room
Silence reigned
Broken only by a mocking cry in the distance
Yee ah
Fun and laughter struggled forward
Shaking the hand of the devil
Putting a smile on his fence
I hugged my love, kissing her all over
Happiness reigned
Dawn broke but time had ceased
Space had ceased
There existed only the eternal now
As it always had
And always would be
