Real as you so delicately seem...
I savour you only in my wildest delusions
 
Your rays culminate into beams...
You illuminate hate’s very confusion
 
You fill embittered hearts to the brim...
Healing souls that are ladened with rejection
 
Come true, I bid you my dream...
Or I shall sleep still in your sensuous delusion
 
I choose to hold you beyond the rim...
As I fear to wake and find that you were but a dusty vision
 
Enter into men with lights so dim...
Detonate your soothing aura to full saturation
 
Make of my gloom, a glamorous gleam...
Even as my heart becomes your lofty habitation
 Enjoy Valentine's week and don't forget to comment on our post and even submit one yourself.
