Cathexis

Chasing stars
Aligned with brilliance


Forging hearts
In stormy signatures

Rain falls as reverence 
Wetting the face of forgiveness
Extinguishing the fire of this soul’s madness
That drifts into the midnight hour
Where darkness searches for light

My blood flows red and alive
Awaiting

How suspenseful and dramatic, love the lines 'forging hearts/in stormy signatures' and 'where darkness searches for light' - feels like glimpsing the moon through the rain~
