The veil

Summer wilts behind the veil
Fall light gathers in the hills
Gardenia, jasmine, cardamom
Tracing the past, I come up numb
Winter melts behind the veil
Spring drifts by, a gentle gale
These vast eclipses of my life
Time, as it slips, skims past the eye

When is all this going to rear its head again
And take me down
Only a matter of time now

Fifteen years behind the veil
It's all rushed past, a brief exhale
It taught me what it was and then
It twirled me round and round again
A pomegranate torn in half
Its breaking sound a hollow laugh
Its seed so sweet upon my tongue
Can't ravage what I'm running from

When is Orpheus going to turn his head again
And send me down
Just when I thought I was homebound

Search for spark to no avail
Somewhere it's buried, feel it flail
Can't seem to find the proper switch
To rid this system of its glitch
Fifteen years behind the veil
To hold a heart and feel it pale
Gardenia, jasmine, cardamom
Tracing the past, I come undone

I'm breaking down
I've caught its scent for a while now
See you on the other side, now
