I dreamt in techni-color
Tonight of you
Not Sprawled across
Like you were when they found you
A James Patterson character
Devoid of life
A corpse
How cold!
Still makes me shiver and tremble and shiver
I dreamt in techni-color
Tonight of you
Dancing in my arms
Like we used to
In those long ago days
When life was a long beautiful summer
I dreamt in techni-color
Tonight of you
It was so real
My techni-colored man
I woke and cried
And cried
Cele Uwa
When the news came from home
Spirited by the waves
That you had gone
I snapped my fingers beside my ears
To still the steps of fate
I weave a basket of words
To accompany you on your journey
If you listen really hard
You will hear the trilling of my voice
As it calls your name
And reminds you of what you were
What you are
I garner a harvest of euphonies
To lament my loss of you
