Selfless Love

You were planted in my lines gently

To let me build the castle of love one last time

Yes on that star studded night you had come by my side

To help me gather those crystals of sand

That lay scattered glittering everywhere

It never occurred.

If my castle would stand like the sky or the sea

Or would cease with the storm or the waves

We did build one, a magical one

And my spelled heart found its solace

I started walking in the clouds leaving the land

Where I had assembled my own universe

Where you were the Sun and I the Moon

I would long to embrace you

To satiate my nerves that desired

To smell your fragrance

Or feel the gentle touch

And when that day, I raised my hands

To feel your love or so I thought.

Before I could escape

You had burned me alive

And with that you thought my love too had gone astray

Yet I my bygone was not that soon

Those grey ashes still breathed love

And desired to flutter with the breeze

To soften with the clouds

So that my last touch of love could

Somehow reach!
