The Dance of The Lampyridae

We once danced like the glowing Lampyridae Bathing in the molten heat of a new fire While walking hand in hand Down loves panoramic highways Flames of belonging and such sensuous fire Lit and consumed our aura's But when the winter of our love season arrived With the familiar sound of jingle bells Announcing our Oak wedding anniversary On that particular sunrise On December the fifth That mesmerising spell broke like the mythical Sword of Elendil And my world Shattered So blue is my new season watching the midnight Lampyridae dance Alone In the silvery moonlight Like a young Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth As we once did While my life slowly drifts South After I lost you My world and the only thing that once mattered Wandering lost in my mind's so many labyrinths filled with our hieroglyphs As I stand alone on Death's high cliff When I remember that first time we met On that beautiful night When our souls were ordained by God's light (C) Copyright John Duffy (Lampyridae: Firefly)
