As we walk over the river on a root,
We see the moonbow over the waterfall,
The purple water rushing through,
Streaming under our feet.

The sturdy trees, velvet moonlight through leaves,
Looking at you, in your dark-scarlet robe,
Gazing at the stars together,
Thinking there is hope.

Lying there together, feeling love for you,
Hoping somewhere deep inside, you feel that mellow too,
Then we draw somewhat closer,
And I kiss you on the cheek.

We drink the hexed water,
And we lie there, love there, die there.

The Lunar Corona (version two)

Silver hazy starlight, dripping from the velvet moon
As a cloud floats by, the Lunar Corona appears
It's a bright night, the eclipse is starting soon
An event that creates and dissolves people's fears

Up in the void of the night the light brown circle dances in the cloak of shadows
Then the eclipse comes, dark as a decrescendo
As I sit and watch from a furry meadow

Then the moon returns
And so does my **heartbeat

The Lunar Corona (version one)

Silver hazy starlight, dripping from the velvet moon
As a cloud floats by, the Lunar Corona appears
It's a bright night, the eclipse is starting soon
An event that creates and dissolves people's fears

Up in the void of the night the light brown circle dances in the cloak of shadows
Then the eclipse comes, dark as a decrescendo
As I sit and watch from a furry meadow

A Lunar Corona is the circle formed when a cloud passes by the moon. I watched it last night, and it inspired me.

Untitled

When the lucidity of love lingers,
And the fire from the heart keeps burning.
As passion slips through the fingers,
All that once was, is turning.

The embers that bursted into flames,
Fueled by the very first embrace,
Sparked by the taste of her lips,
And the curly strip of hair across her face.

But when the sparks fade away,
And the thick mist thins out,
Loves powers decay; hearts turn to clay,
And the sun gets blocked by a cloud.

Though when love is like mine for you,
After many years, it will still be true.
