Journey Across The Celestial River

Engulfed by the flames,
Merciless smoke stealing my tears,
I call out your name.

Swords made of fire,
Cutting deep into veins,
Situation growing more dire,
Praying for rain.

Never meant to be on a stake,
Not a magical sorceress,
Just one simple mistake,
Yearning to finally evanesce.

It was the first time,
I danced with butterflies,
A new form of paradigm,
Impossible to rationalize.

Every word lifted me higher,
Pulled by a new sort of planet,
Unable to foretell what would transpire,
Turning into my irresistible opiate.

I couldn’t explain,
Revolution started in my brain,
If it were love or pain,
Renegades all cheering your name.

Chest buried underneath mountains of stone,
Thoughts dissolving into hazy mist,
When I saw you on your notorious throne,
I couldn’t ever resist.

I wished on a passing star,
Then I fell apart,
Hoping you would never be far,
Path impossible to chart.

Eyes casting everlasting spells,
Mesmerized by your powers,
Turning my washed out pastels,
To blooming spring flowers.

Unable to say what happened,
Just now I am burning,
Long lost feelings awakened,
I will always be returning.

You didn’t know how to lead,
I didn’t know how to feel,
Without you, I painfully bleed,
Without you, I never could heal.

You guide me through fire and flame,
I will never again call in vain,
Holding your hand,
Asking to dance,
I am at your command,
Till I enter my final trance.

The best circumstance,
Came to be by happenstance.
