For Ink Empresses contest Roses or Fireflies

Silver souls melting like lava red hot Cremated by lost lover’s cranberry heart Passion fashioned by Cupid and the breeze Death came too soon taking blue fantasy Was sleep walking through land of sands Hoping only to see familiar face again For love never dies despite tears in eyes Have to find your spirit desperately I try It feels real like I reunite with your soul Love is a parachute I use to fall and float All the other angels have bold gold halos When I see you you stand out and I know Your beautiful heart is calling out to mine And in this sandy park is a sea of fireflies That glow in onyx sky reflected in your eyes Seeing them above you casting ethereal light Words wither here like water colored clouds I have much to say dear but can’t somehow I’m sorry I disturbed you from your peace Wishing you to leave your cocoon to come back to me I know you are happy I feel it in this space That somehow we were allowed this moment of faith I was sad but now I understand my duty to you I must rise like a firefly and keep alive our love so true One long embrace in this sandy land One last look of your face touch of hand I understand now you visit me in denim dreams And I awake with such a peace inside like stream
