Heliotrope
By Exodus
Heliotrope:
Your demise more lovely than fields of flowing grey,
The sun rays that pour from under your eyelids
Dusted with the ocean spray.
I calmly grace your finger tips, for a dance among the violet
Shields of legacy and hunted shadows that flee from your
Guided darkness.
You are my welcomed defeat, so lovely to die in your arms
Of delicate circumstance, fleetingly designated a treasure of the dead
mans heart.
Can I have you, wholesome as the milk white leaves
That fall from your bitter backyard, of trees and oleander.
I want to lay here and forget you world.
Forget the name I use to know.
Here where your shudders are open to truth and love.

I'm not completely sure where this is going, but it leaves me with a general idea. It seems like it might have something to do with the passing of youth -- and perhaps this will become apparent to you as well -- i do quite like it.

Breathtaking, the overflowing emotions disguised in strong yet subtle words. Nothing short of beautiful.

This is quite beautiful, but sometimes difficult to piece together as a whole. Heliotrope, milk white leaves, oleander - these are great words. This is not as bad as you think!
