Come with me, oh clandestine friend
Staring at a child, caretakers sharpen the edges of her fatigue.
Look at the wounds they keep running over—
I hear they are a source of mystique.
As they swarm around us, watch the fireflies
Eating away the spot where my youth lies
It must be forgotten but I let it linger
Lit up by the song of a haloed singer.
Fireflies love it when we reminisce
All our days of bliss.
When we carried around a burden as if it meant nothing
As if it weren't our elders who should've held it
While they showed us false prophets
Fireflies love when we sing of youth lost to Judas knives
And all the tragedies that become our lives.

Beyond every star
where a dark void spins
a spiral staircase
screams in the silence;
It peels with madness;
Steps that don't end;
You race then crawl
without progress;
Vacuum flowing;
Shimmers cease,
trapped inside
destruction;
Haloed
exit
bombed.

When the golden sun sets over a horizon
Mirrors inside glittering with reflections
Sparkling Underneath the realm of possibilities
Far away drifting oasis upon a cloud called nine
Where heaven holds the creation’s seat
Kneeling before lashes fold
Enthroned by your light breathing through clouds
Beneath adoring rays crowned by the Aura of beauty

The nearly full moon's haloed glow
Doesn't cast shadow on hedgerow
For it's almost hidden by dark clouds
Eerily peeks through leafless willow
The night's darkness could be shroud
Coat all eve's creatures in velvet proud
All that eerie green glow_which frights
Came out from behind thundercloud
Dark night laced by cobalt and black
Hinders my vision of few stars on track
Leave the dark come to inside lights
Avoid demoniac counterattack

Slip a promise, grasp my hand,
Seal our hearts with this blue band,
As I'll be yours and you forever mine,
Two hearts a lifetime match becomes the greater sign,
Wrapped up in you and time moves fast,
Trace the days in white, to know love will outlast,
Throughout the night within loose dreams,
Sinking deeper we're linked through seams...
