In a garden of crows there's a floral tribute
For the boy who died
That endless dreamer coruscating in vibrant moonlight
Unhooked, refractory emotions are burgeoning
Rapid tides on autopilot
Every night is famous and reckless
But the cuts get bigger and we can't repair
All the scars and all the wounds which anchor us
To memories of tortured days which keep us awake
Our lips are shut, but our minds are open
I know it hurts at first, letting go
But it hurts more when you hold on to dying love
And you spend a lifetime searching for answers
In the weeds of a crumbling forest
I feel your pain, the echo of the melancholic piano
The solar eclipse in the heart
Burning like a thousand suns, a thousand poets
Lullabies piercing protective outer sheath
The violet plumes of afterlife's glow
Pluck the violin strings of rain gently falling
Enchanted rosebuds everlasting
Willows wallowing in psycho starlight
A soft chrysalis in my blood
In violent seas of pleasure, I remember
The celestial mouth consuming me
Birds chirping on a gloomy blue morning
The long walk to the funeral
In those moments you feel like you have no faith
And you look up at the sky
The vast and empty nothingness shining
So bright the lights are blinding
And I remember, you were my best friend
I loved you more than the moon at night
You spoke to me like music, and I never wanted it to end
Willows wallowing in psycho starlight
In those moments you feel like you have no faith
And you look up at the sky
Everything was a beautiful thing
A shipwreck in a troubled mind
I'm in Heaven, and I know You're sad
Just because you can feel my soul, my tears
My words alive on the paper
Just because you know I'm watching
With unrivalled, glittering stars in my eyes
That gold Midas touch is gone
Like Houdini's inevitable disappearing act
The final departure
You strayed so far away, like a beached whale
And now I can never get you back, I'm just a doll
Thrown away and discarded
I see the beauty in death, we're magnets
That unconditional bond sizzles out
Like a flame in winter
Two minds tied together with a ribbon
In wild waters.

Beautiful, I feel like this could be a song
Thank you for your kind words. When I write, I tend to listen to music the most. Poetic words and sounds coexisting are so therapeutic, like the best medicine for the soul. Maybe it subconsciously affects my writing.
