Cape of Storms

the Cape of Storms is a place i could love

i don't want a peaceful valley and light breezes all the time

i want to fight for my life and what i love

i can no longer lay in the soft grass and forget life

i must feel the earth move, the wind blow

and beg that passion overtake my dulled heart

i want to drop through the sky

watching the ground rush up to snatch me

pulling the cord at the last second

i want to risk everything on the Cape of Storms

not settle for a sea of tranquility

my tranquil moments are those soft meditations

within the ridges of a sharp pointed life

it's not just that you have awakened me, my love,

it's that i have awakened myself

you don't hold me, you can't i can't hold you, i can't

we can run together until we tire

then taste a fervent dream in the setting sun
