Star light, star bright…
On the brink
Of desperation
Sanguine souls
Whisper wishes
Into the night sky.
The first star I see tonight…
With optimism,
They chant their
Illustrious illusions
To Midnight Merlins
That twinkle with prospect.
I wish I may, I wish I might…
Hope rises
Like balloons,
Seeking stars
Granting greatness,
Making dreams come true.
Have the wish I wish tonight.

In time’s waiting room,
All alone I ail,
Licking clean my wound,
Masked beneath my veil.
All alone I ail,
Salvation passes by,
Masked beneath my veil,
Time turns a blind eye.
Salvation passes by,
I choke upon the pain.
Time turns a blind eye,
As I go insane.
I choke upon the pain
In time’s waiting room.
As I go insane
Licking clean my wound.

The darkness stakes its claim on day
Intent on taking life away.
The leaves begin asphyxiating,
Starved of light, they’re suffocating.
Beholders gawk in wonderment
At gasping breaths so candescent.
Reverence earned by mutating,
Starved of light, they’re suffocating.
Darkness closes its savage grip,
One by one leaves begin to slip.
On the ground they’re congregating,
Starved of light, they’re suffocating.

Jagged flames shimmer
Like a serrated knife,
A magnificent danger
Built by one man’s strife.
Surrounding him with safety
His barriers burn tall,
An entrancing glory,
A most lethal wall.
Breathtaking fireworks,
Like a bomb they tick,
Glorious flares beckon
Enticing me with magic.
So serene and calm
The fire cradles him there,
Safety from agony,
Shelter from despair.
It is beside him
That I long to stand,
Willingly I approach
When he offers me his hand.
Engulfed within his rampart,
Distracted by its majesty,
I barely even notice that
I’ve been burned completely.
