halcyon genesis

sanctuary for the broken hearted

elysian fields harvested

for the deary departed

paradise in those eyes

crumpled wings

that were designed for the skies

the past jonquil's hurtful words

the cruel dreams

that taunt the flightless bird

the pinions have healed

dominion is sealed in this floating nest

the tempest was no contest

for true ferocity

through thick and thin

i gave these wings a new velocity

i soared the clouds

i flew proud

then curiosity shone from the sun

she shone a smile of sheer beauty

i knew she wanted me

and now its clear

my best days are in front of me

for hurt before we swore

that love was a nemesis

she plants seeds

that feed all the good within

and there's no greed in the weeds

to stop this flower breathing

love like the hybrid of a rose and an a amaranth

with amethyst claws

and a sapphire crest

i'm all yours

we've both been through the wars

our blood has stained the sand on distant shores

as the bird serenaded

the scars they all faded

beautiful second chances

a fallen feather dances

as the twilight advances

the past hearts cracked

like eggshells between eagle talons

but from the flames they rose

unafraid to upset the balance

cerulean mystery

the sea bed's history

the depths inside your heart

your heart
