First Light of Dawn

With the first light of dawn,

he watches a rose blossom first open.

Fresh dew drops adorn each petal,

the same way tear drops caress soft skin.

Each petal glistens within the sunlight,

a tiny rainbow emerges from each droplet.

the sparkling glow of an angel’s eyes,

Forever enchants the beautiful rose blossom.

With the first light of dawn,

he watches a rose blossom first open.

The beauty he sees within that rose,

a reminder of all the beauty he sees in her eyes.

Midnight Muse

On an angel’s whisper

Enchanting beauty fills the night air.

Deep within his sleep

Hidden secrets are revealed from within.

Deep within his sleep

An angel’s visit cleanses his soul.

Angelic whisperings

Midnights muse for a broken heart.

Angelic whisperings

Her heart’s desire now hers.

Within midnight darkness

From a distance sweet surrender.

Within midnight darkness

A sparkle of sapphire blue enters his dreams.

On an angel’s whisper

 Her sweet tenderness soars high.

Shadow Walkers

Under blackened skies

Haunting screams fill her night.

Within the depths of dreams

Black roses cry tears of blood.

Within hidden shadows

Her tears mingle with those of black roses.

Within hidden shadows

They walk whispering in silence.

Pools of tears

They quickly wipe them away.

One by one

They turn black roses into red ones.

One by one

They remove her fears.

Her nightmares

Now replaced with sweet memories.

Under blackened skies

Shadow walkers silence haunting screams.
