Azure Velvet

I was dreaming,

Of a world free of sin,

I was hoping,

For a world free of heartbreak,

I was wishing,

For a world full of beauty,

But those wishes,

Those hopes and dreams,

Would never be fulfilled,

So I dreamt to get away from here,

Away from this cold-hearted world I am forced to live in,

I longed for paradise,

A paradise so wondrous,

I would never have to wish again,

I was so lonely,

So spectacularly broken,

The only thing I could ever do,

Was dream,

Wish that death would take me over,

Hope that death would become me,

I basked in the radiance of the thought,

My being was too filled with the sorrow,

Of the unfeeling world,

Of the cruel world,

So I lifted myself,

I saw finally the beauty of the snow,

The stars gleamed brightly as they fell from the sky,

Spotting the ground white,

Sparkling white stardust, snowdrops,

I would no longer cry tears,

I would no longer feel pain,

Death now surrounded me,

And touched my skin,

With delicate folds of azure velvet,

I was free,

I was happy,

I was dreaming,

Of a world free of sin,

I was hoping,

For a world free of heartbreak,

I was wishing,

For a world full of beauty,

But those wishes,

Those hopes and dreams,

Would never be fulfilled,

So I dreamt to get away from here,

And away I went.

Heart and Soul and Beyond

I finally felt what it’s like,

To love at first sight,

You shone brightly at me,

There at the end of the room,

You were so beautiful,

Though I could so barely see your face,

Without you I would surely crash,

Destroyed I would be,

Engulfed in the flame,

With you I am in paradise,

And such a sweet paradise, paradise,

So gentle with your touch,

My neck is tender with your sweet kisses,

My body is open to your passionate embrace,

You hold me so tightly,

You make me feel safe,

But then you are gone,

And we become a game of hide and seek,

I am searching forever it seems,

Still I search,

Because I know I will find you and love you once more,

I always find you in something,

I always have a reason to think of you,

Dream after dream,

I fall in love with you again,

Day by day,

My love for you grows stronger,

I cannot live without you,

Because I am a delicate flower,

And you are the sunshine,

I need my sunshine,

Or else I shall wither and  die,

Your hot sun rays catch my blood on fire,

And the fire from a dragon’s breaths blazes inside me,

So much like you, it is,

Free, warm, comforting,

Passionate,

You are so perfect to me,

I some times believe you can’t be more than a mirage,

A mere optical illusion,

But I come to my senses,

I know this can’t be,

I am the only person who sees you as I do,

But I am not the only person that sees you,

I see you in a different way,

A better way,

You are the beautiful sky, wonderful night,

My insides crumble because I know you are not really here,

I wish you to know,

The first real step I take,

Will be one that brings me closer to you,

One more tomorrow,

And you’ll be a little closer,

Yet still so far away,

Our souls have met, though we have not,

But I have already declared,

When we do meet,

I will give my heart and soul and beyond,

Because I love you.

I Love You.
