They say beauty comes with age, and understanding.
But I've never felt it in me, just you.
I only find things of beauty around me, and in my sleep.
But in me it’s vacant, and worn.

In the morning, I fell in love, the rays on my heart.
But it was short lived in time wasted.

By the afternoon my eyes focused on your approaching fate,
But could not comprehend the hurt in your skin.

And in the evening, the bellows seemed darker.
But I knew my mind, I knew it wouldn't crack.
Streams of colour
In constant motion
showing shades of beauty hidden
Powered by the wind
As it caresses the river of scent
Gently, softly, lovingly
And moves through the rows
Never stopping, always moving
Following the wind
Lavender tributaries
in a Sensual  scented sea of colour
Never ending.

but there's no way out of here
you signed your deal
a key
and a cell
right?
so you just go on
being alone
until you no longer have to
