what lies in a name, a face, a mask?
you ask of me riches and glamour.
what lies in a date, a year, a time?
you ask of me celebrations amongst silence.
what lies in words, lies and the unspoken?
you ask of me tears far beyond the skies.
what lies in stories, a pen and some paper?
you ask of me talent and a forever smile.
what lies in pictures and another thousand words?
you ask of me patience and so much more.
what lies in front, the past and the present?
i ask of you.
what i cannot ask from you.
to speak. to talk. to be.

what lies in the sea, with clouds, and sand below?
us. under the stars.
once upon a time.
