I said I know what love is
I saw how you undo your pain
& sorround your broken heart with roses
Luscious, beautiful, poignant!

NIGHTS VOID OF DAWN
I said I know the weight of laughter
But yours was not red
It was blue (calm, tantalizing)
& you have a special way of making colours smile to make moments glow
 
I said I know what love is
I saw how you undo your pain
& sorround your broken heart with roses
Luscious, beautiful, poignant!
 
I said I know how to unfold silence
You curled your voice into a paper ship
& allowed it to float
Your feelings made a hell of a noise
& it Trapped my heart into your broken dreams
 
I saw how you walk through each night
Wet with your tears, dried of hope.
 
I saw how you carve smiles at dawn
From the ellipsis of your prayers.
 
& how God sighs when you die again
At every sundown
 
& the flowers I planted on your body died barren
 
& I know holding you is hugging fire
Cause' I burn at every attempt
 
& my thought roams the sky of futility
 
I know you're beautiful but also pitiful
 
& I wish could make you feel like you
 
For once

WILL YOU STAY FOREVER?
What if i adorn your mind
With the Melodies in my voice
& i ride on your body
With the sweetness on my tongues
 
What if i draw your heart
Into the strings of desires
& i plant my face in your soul
With the beauty of my imperfection
 
What if i cuddle your feelings
& i become the healings
To your broken emotions
Planting you in the picture of my existence
 
What if i scribble your name
 on the sands of time
& i watch you glow at every sunrise
 
Will you stay with me forever?
