hush angel

 
it is with sorrow I hold you near
it is the heartbeat of my soul
feel my life's breath, breathe into you
and you will know sadness

a precious piece lest you doubt
it quickens the passion
sets fire to desire

I am damned in the eternal solitude to grieve
lacing thoughts with paper
I keep my visions and dreams close
then turn the untouchable into something tangible
secrets and shadows have substance
my melancholy has voice

I pull you close to my bodice
and say hush, angel
don't weep for me
child of scorn it is for me to cry
and it is for me to keep  

the immortal dawn sees our journey
our feet bound by the path of discovery
uncovering truth from illusions

sorrow our strength
vulnerability our shine
