Soft--First Scripture

Born of windy delight and softer than a light breeze blows your soothing blissful breath amid the swaying trees So cooly it whispers to my upturned ear that you have not left me so early this year you are with me still and the world is ours we are free again to covet the seas and the stars The world is not this cold shriveled dead thing and you are still able to sing in clear joyful ring I love you with amber and gold from my beating heart with your softer than cloudy embrace touch i never wish to part though i know that this be only dream i linger on in this peaceful stream wishing you were still here to bathe me in love trying so hard to still stand to look for you up above yet the light fades into the dusk and the living tree is creaking into dried husk the stars turn cold and the breeze is bitter stone there is no softer than soft wind when i cringe alone I sigh and I cry why wasn't i the one to die then i crumble into this heap fallen into nightmarish sleep the angels have gone from my side and the love i once had has fled to hide no more Autumn in this place when i can no longer kiss your face so fragile i am now in this decrepit state my world of love has twisted to the clawings of hate how could heaven bestow such a gift and steal it away on death's wings so terrible and swift I given up all that i had just for you but i guess much more than that had to be due i loved you more than those pearly gates and maybe that is why i angered those vain fates i love you and have you not underneath the ground is where you will now rot it has been more than 15 years you would think by now that i would have conquered those fears you didn't really love me in the end but i was still so glad to be called your friend the roses blush with my obsession but it was not one derived of possession i loved you with a love that was pure but it was a love life could not endure for you see there can only be one heaven and that can not dwell here on earth the angels turn sour in their blessing when another heaven is given birth
