***
Rose petals of your emotions
Beautiful but sometimes they just hurt.
Colored gems and golden fish of your silly smiles
You smell like butterflies
Dancing in the wind…
Tenderness of thorns
Dangerous like poisoned love
Spilled upon your sleeves…
I jump because I must…
Diamond dust…
***
Your hands are thrown in the air
Picking strawberries of purple rays.
Jasmine fragrance in your hair
Makes me fall asleep
If I cry I will die
So please don’t let me slip…
Gentleness of kiss
Luring like the open veins
Dripping on your knees…
I fly because I must…
Diamond dust…
***
Soft barbwires of embraces
Choking swiftly just to help me breathe.
I will pour the balm of love
On your crying wounds
Clattered lives, clotting blood
In clovers of your eyes…
Dark side of the dream
Dimly fading like the flame
Burning as you scream…
I fall because I must…
Diamond dust…
***
Winking back at me with broken glass.
Bits of skin left on the mirrors of your glossy lips
Tears like honey
Melting amber
Sinking into deep…
Warm dew of your touch
Only could save me this much
But it was not enough…
I die because I must…
Diamond dust…
***
