CLEAR NIGHT
My Red Rose
in the stillness of the night
my mind clears away the mist glued on by time
sleep comes easy
my blood in my vains runs calmly, teasing my mind
i go to sleep
with the scent of your fragrance clinging on to me
i will use the clouds as my pillow tonight
the stars as my seeing light
the cricketts and the night birds can be my lullaby
while waters trickle down into a windless night
My Pruple, Dark Rose
in this stormy night
the darkness drugs me, me eyes move patiently ripped open by time
sleep lures me
your skin stopped glowing
i go to sleep
with the touch of your cold fingers on me
I will use you as my pillow tonight
your breathing as my lullaby
while the ocean inside you calms me down
your goodness cracks, it fades, crumbles away
when I touch you like
My Black Rose
in the stillness of the night
life seems to come were life took away some, burned off by time
sleep comes no more
in this furious silent night
my blood has turned into the color you are made from
I run from sleep
with your sweet stench running after me
I will use nothing but the cold to comfort me tonight
oh my Black Rose
Darkness is my friend
it does what light does
it shows me my love
