I’ve had vibrant red, sun bleached dreams
Ever since I was lost at Sea
Completely empty, I’ve reached extremes
No human should ever be
Vivid Memories of now dried up streams
On this island for an eternity
Right when things fall apart at the seams
Hope springs a letter to me

I uncorked the bottle and began to read:
“A Scar let’s us feel what it’s like to bleed
And a Scar reminds us what we truly need
But now forget the past, and plant this seed”

A solitary grain of hope gifted me an epiphany
As I now believe, you must get lost to truly see
Perspective says that life is really just mentality
So I planted that mystery, and waited patiently

I dozed off in the shade, the sun began to fade  
I dreamt in red again, about an apple tree of sin
That Shiny red bliss, crisp inviting perfect kiss
Classic true romance, Eden Garden slow dance

I awoke from the rain, to see a sprout was born
Emotions overcame, like angry woman’s scorn
Written like a book from Nathaniel Hawthorne
I can barely look, please god make it a unicorn!

So I can fly far away, and forget every other day
Wanderlust and roam, Heaven send me home
One last breath, before I finally reach my death
But something succulent penetrates my Nose
As my eyes gaze upon a Perfect Scarlet Rose
life is but a window in time, and it passes by ever so briefly, así que hablaré tu lengua materna y espero verte mientras aún somos jóvenes
