For You, Dear
by Nathalie Markoch
as you entered the gate
arose silence, now feints
awoke images through pain
no wonder why I left myself be drained
consequences at that time
conquered sorcerers, denied
I wonder how to put aside
the wounded memories of a lifetime
Princess Gaia, no more tears
I need you here, freeze all tears
come, shelter this giant within
all that's left is a broken seed
a withered seed
climbed summits, mountains
but also survived hell
corrupted veins, shaded friends
how could I have been so strong
now sheltered only inside your soul
mine is torn, mine's a void
never sought true perfection
never sought for a higher creation
I just wanted to stay firm
to admire the beauty from within
never asked for admiration
never searched for inspiration
hollow souls what I shall fill
with the thoughts I do make real
no other shall ever dream
about my senses, about my sins
what if we keep silent?
what if I stand still?
cold cruel summers and never hesitated
to remember the lowest, the lamest
everything is part of a story
a part of a lifeline
not some arranged glory
hazel eyes around me..
hazel eyes inside me..
hazel eyes embracing from within
Is all I feel, is all I dream
is all I imagine, is all that's real
like how I feel it now
floating through the mist
floating above men's sins
above the in-transcendent mankind's feelings
above the standard human desires
above misery, vainness, and weakness
I love you from beyond this lost soul
that this encounter has lifted to the stars
to finally meet yours
