Face Value

The black clouds roll in
yet the sun shines in your heart
that's what love can do
the illusion of the eye
the dagger that stabs the soul.

The sweet dagger of illusion of love. Let the soul be stabbed, because peace is there in love not in hate. Lovely done, my lovely friend. Loved always, bl
