Standing alone like a single rose wilted into deception
I face the lonely days of crystalline sunrises
My red petals shown only by the forbidden bursts of blue
And as stars softly fade, I weep once more, another petal down
Your soft-spoken voice dreamed love to life
As my coat of dew was left shimmering in silence
Leaving me frozen between syllables
As every word you whispered was spoken in vain
You cultured me until I was lost in dreams
My existence left nurtured in silken wishes
You fenced me into a garden of framed confusion
My thoughts just tainted remnants of yesterday
But as others look upon my beauty
My mind is left waltzing through echoes
What could have been that one summer?
Has stunted my growth in a stranded evolution
It was only in dreams that set our hearts afire
And like crystal memories furrowed
We set ourselves a layered consciousness
We could not fight against
And in the darkened hours when eyes dance
Among the silhouettes of passions flowers
It is then that hearts don’t lie
‘And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.’
Author notes
Option 1 - All used
wilted into deception
tainted remnants of yesterday
crystalline sunrise
forbidden bursts of blue
waltzing through echoes
framed confusion
stranded evolution
dreaming love to life
layered consciousness
another petal down
hearts afire
frozen between syllables
in silken wishes
shimmering in silence
like crystal memories
lost in dreams
as stars softly fade
spoken in vain
only in dreams
hearts don't lie
when eyes dance
that one Summer
Option 2
