always stay like this
with God there is love and bliss
His Son sorely miss
Taken by the darkness, ravaged by the wild.
You lit up my whole world, the moment that you smiled.
I would "lie" to you all day, though only truth is spoken.
We could fall apart together, become whole with all our broken.
Marvel at your brilliant shimmer, all would dim without you.
Wish to dispel twisted reflections that you believe true.
If all that I could ever give, does only find your wake.
I'd Treasure such brutality, cherish the keepsake.
Enraptured, I this creature you've captured in loves descent.
Infatuated, I will rise to banish your lament.
Wild
sea cry
tsunami
wave of sorrow
in response to the harrowing exit
of a human lantern who cast spells on
ghetto street waifs
homeward bound
in her
wings
