Missing

 I was lost in the sea of a nameless face,
As stars fell into bits of broken crystal,
Cutting deeply into skin and bone
My thirsty eyes drank up the night sky
And like an old drunk, I drank it all,
I was Christopher Columbus and this was my new world.
The sunrise, the beginning of an end  
I woke into a bittersweet nightmare
Where flowers welcomed me with deadly, ragged teeth
Whispering in languages I do not know
I can't be lost
Then, a face between the gentle colors
My soul fluttered to the harmony of song
But utterly blinded by perfection, I did not see
How the waters mocked my discovery
Bon voyage, they chanted into the night
And soared through the specks of dust
I will ever flee into midnight heavens
To behold the face that longingly awaits for me
And dance to the ruthless beat of ocean waves
Beyond broken crystal that were once stars
For I am found in the sea of a nameless face.
