Stringless Marionette

Baptize me in dreams that were always forbidden
With swansongs for lives that are past
Stitch me eternal to rival the sky,
for stars were not destined to last.

Smooth out my thorns and caress my petals,
and carry me out to the Sun.
Waltz with me gently to the tune of our love
without a thought to those we shun.

Patterns in smoke seen through crystal eyes
entranced with the magic you weave.
A world filled with beauty beyond comprehension
that only we two could believe.

As falling sands measure precious time,
each grain soaked with blood and love.
You spin me till vision elapses with dream
and I see the Heavens above.

Your fingers enclose around my small hand
Four years flash before awe-filled eyes
And lost is my past before we had met
and all I had come to despise.

Nothing exists but you, here and now
I have you, you need not repeat once again
Soon we shall act out this dance of our souls
in the physical realm, in the soft falling rain

For I love you, as I have told you here,
And so I shall tell you when we both shall die.
How I long for the time we are finally free
and leave all behind as we fly.
