Glistening pale eyes
Watered down with iridiscent tears...

Hauntingly the wind
Sings beneath the silver stars...

Sweet scented lilacs tumble
From the rose-tinted wind...

Exotic flames dance
From the centre of the Earth...

Overtones of guilt
Flicker in her anguished eyes...

Darkness of the deepest kind
With roots of hatred and fear...

Sifting shadows bathe the forest floor
In a swathe of darkness...

Shadows cling to the forest
Draining the world of every hue...

Dull white paper stars
Hang by strings from painted night...

I was 5 the first time,
I flew through the door...

Still
And soft...

Warm
And close...
