Mmmm
it's like the taste of red velvet
same feeling on my skin
just the way they roll away
like heaven's teardrops
I can be as dizzy as I want
I'll never have to worry about falling
I don't need the arms anymore
So I guess I just have nothing to lose
One candle could light up the world
in the shadows of the morning
as clouds begin to tuck the sun to sleep
all so I can close my eyes and keep
dreaming
Those words they said are all forgotten
whispers of the wind
fill my sense with a truer peace
sweet harmony
plays on my heartstrings
like the essence of his soul
I am doomed to remember
The mint in fresh December
piercing spearmint
The only proof that I can bleed
That I can sigh, that I can breathe
A heart that refuses to quit giving,
but the scent of spring rain on velvet
keeps living.
Author notes
I love the scent of the rain & any chance I get to myself when I am upset or worried or anything like that I just let my mind fall into fantasy and dance in a morning shower. <3

Beautiful dear, It always is when you write it though, and even i have to admit the morning shower and the midnight rain soothes the savage soul.
