Black Pebbles and Violet Streams

Violet 
star stream
flowing 
across 
the 
soullessness
of
mundane dream...
Whispering "everything's alright.
She's thriving like a spring-fed rose in saintly gardens.
An angel brightly glowing.

...of this dream.
I staggered along a ragged path.
Through a battlefield of metal devils-called "quartered living.
Faith folding and unfolding.
Garnished with ogres slinging burning orbs of fire. 
Halos of insanity...

This is when violet star sashayed in.
Soothing me
Shielding me
Her weeping rosary telling me. 
That she loved and missed my heart.
Re-fastened our very being with a satin dream kiss. 
That had tattered in the talon of time.
Lifted me across the bloody, broken, battered fields. 
 ...into the arms of forever
where the beat of pristine only flies.

So, fly my love, fly ever so softly into me.
If dreams mean anything, I know it won't be long. 
Till we dance the dance of butterflies.
Over green sprigs and lacy things in a warm summer wind.

In the heart pond of gilded tomorrows.
We'll gently drift about.
Make origami sunflower love.
High upon a gilded glade...

If dreams mean anything
death is just a splash 
of black pebbles
in a violet starry stream....
If dreams mean anything,

If you don't mind a critique of spelling, I think you mean origami, ogre, soullessness, don't, and alright. This poem has potential, more so than 99% of what I read on this forum.
