Prelude To Beauty
Had you not inspired such
a flame deep and bellowing
in the cavity of my chest
where my heart used to be
i'd be not but a shell
A beautiful, soulless
corpse condemned to walk
this earth for an eternity
ready to deafen and destroy
with eternal noise
that signifies nothing
i can only add my desire
of forever being yours
make me as happy
as i can be.
Only then can I be saved
from damnation and my
soul set free.
Looking at you there from
above the clouds,
my under oxygenated hands
turn pale blue,
never has anything in
all of history looked
more beautiful than you
do in this moment.
for your smile is so breathtaking
You would wonder why anyone
ever lived in the first place
Inert with heavy slumber, i
wondered if i was ever awake
at all. was it a dream i loved?
