Powerfully building inertia, runs a silver metallic flow of positive thoughts as I sleep
Omni-rivers of mercury heavily weld my mind, repairing lifetimes of weighted hurts once so deep
Shaded, in rose gardens, we lay across cloth Verde
Intensifying our mutual connection just fair play
Time spent with you, no infinite commodity
Inspired by you within it, though, I live vicariously
Visionary dreams, I found happiness no longer eludes me
Eglantine, my mind must be finding its own form of mercury
Forsake me not, for I would pine
and waste, like tendrils on the vine
that shrivel when the rains abscond
and nullify our special bond.
For eglantine shall flourish not
when kept in shade, stilled in the pod,
nor will our love, without the spark
of nature, and the love of God.
Remain here, nestled in my care,
and feel the measure of His power,
with nourishment for heart and soul,
as the elements sustain the flower.
Forsake me not, for I should pine
and waste, like tendrils on the vine
that shrivel when the rains abscond
and nullify our special bond.
For eglantine shall flourish not
when kept in shade, stilled in the pod,
as would our love without the spark
of nature, and the love of God.
So stay forever, do not fear
that I might ramble errantly,
for I shall nourish and protect thee
throughout all eternity.
Forsake me not, for I should pine
and waste, like tendrils on the vine
that shrivel when the rains abscond
and nullify our common bond.
For eglantine shall flourish not
when kept in shade, stilled in the pod,
as would our love without the spark
of nature, and the love of God.
So stay forever, do not fear
that I would ramble errantly,
for I shall nourish and protect thee
throughout all eternity.

...for Juvie
Forsake me not, for I should pine
and waste, like tendrils on the vine
that shrivel when the rains abscond
and nullify our common bond.
For eglantine shall flourish not
when kept in shade, stilled in the pod,
as would our love without the spark
of nature, and the love of God.
So stay forever, do not fear
that I would ramble errantly,
for I shall nourish and protect thee
throughout all eternity.
