Aphradere: Enlightening the Kindled Embers Within
Oh, I can faintly remember
Last years' frigid December
We were like burning embers,
Kindling our fires of kindness
We were swimming in errors
Don’t let hatred and angst harness
Inside you…
Yes, I do…
Love you unbearably and truly,
So don’t be such a heartless bully
You set my uncanny, hopeless heart aflame
Ripped apart, I’m the one to take the blame
Our hopefulness manifests to awful ashes
Our beauty is beyond our long eyelashes
Intelligence is beautiful and I’m possessive over knowledge
I’m almost always on the edge; my mind’s above life's hedge
Perception of being the exception of affectionate direction
Becomes my shadow and my reflection, so screw your rejection
I want to be beside you forevermore and snuggle with you close
Hit the brakes in your truck of good-luck and let’s kiss nose to nose
I denied your pathetic, lunatic-like lies
I dismiss your half-hearted goodbyes
How time flies, don’t ask your why's
Sick of hearing your childish cries
I need less lows and more highs
Tears replaces glee – sorrow dries
Rise from the gravity and weight society has on you
Surrender and accept the kindled embers of what lies ahead
We must vanish away the fears that hurt us so true
Remember December's embers of beloved luminescence instead
I burn for you like desire fire in the nighttime campfire
I churn like the ocean's tides…I’m in Aphradere's empire
Scorched aflame by the seams…
Overflowing with abusive dreams…
I’m drowning in your ice-engulfed soul
I thought you were mine, my beautiful
You turned the other cheek
There are no words to speak
Disgusted because I feel humiliated
My brain is broken, blank and jaded
Waterfalls of doubtful fragmentations embellish in my cranium unfortunately
The frenzied flames of lust is surrounding me with whirlpools of restless misery
The waters of Aphradere, they ascend so vast
The sea-dwelling, sympathetic spirits will rinse away our torturous, grief-stricken memories
Of our complicated and underestimated past
The sandcastles of our somewhat good childhood got kicked around in the blessed breeze…
Dwelling in the depths of anger and anxiety ablaze… caught abruptly in a sugar-coated, haze-hazardous gaze
Corrupted by the worthless labels in society that puts me in a craze…penetrated by my pornographic phase
The waters of Aphradere will draw near us and give us no fear – it will drench you with cheer, so shed no tear
Kindle the embers of our remembrance, your discouragement is extremely encumbering, my long-lost, darksome dear
Shed some light here…bust open all misery-amassed mirrors
We are swimming in the currents of our nostalgic nightmares
Shallow, rapid rivers of remedies are far from us now…I miss your precious eyes…
Somehow, the goodbyes you bid were all abominable lies and attention-seeking cries
Forgiveness and cherished loyalty will hold me close and mercy is on its merry way
Revenge and fiery fury within is not my reality to put into play – won’t be led astray
Vengeance and judgement is the Lord of Accord's responsibility alone
Endurance is my healing grace and I am like virtuous embers on my own
December's embers left me insecure
I remember November and its nice cure
I want to disappear into October's weather
Kindle the embers of who we used to be –
Do you even remember? Weren’t we pretty happy?
Our tears and cheers are treasured in God's gigantic jar beyond the billionth bar
It’s the memories that reduced to dust and ash a while back – forget it, I will move on and so far, I’m a shimmering star against your past-permeated scar
Last years' frigid December –
How come I clearly remember it now?
Maybe because It’s an empowering ember
That remains alive in me forever somehow
Do you remember me? I hope so, honey
Endurance is an ember of empathy
Within me eternally – let’s all be happy
Along with much-needed tranquility
Hear the echoes of elegant empathy,
Calling you softly in the dead of night, what a sight!
It says: remember me…remember me…
Your kindling kindness left me with no fright tonight
The waters of Aphradere
Will douse us with no fear
Marinate me with mega-magnificence,
Oh Lord of Accord that is of brilliance
You kindle my flames of ember-searing passion
Oh Father, You gave me such compassion
Beyond the human touch
God, I love You oh so much!
