Death is fearful state of mind
For those possessed to wait in line
Under stress of trailing vines
Denied caress of native pines
I for you
And you for I
Need never ever sever ties
Together
We endeavour to declare of where forever lies
.
Energized
The particles
Remarkable of enterprise
Here in our impartible estate
We take tremendous strides
Tender eyes identifying kindliness reflective
I for you
And you for I
Twine realigned perspective

It’s a sheer drop
To the bottom of my heart
Yet from here
The top is blossoming with stars
I for you
And you for I
Remind the most forgotten skies
To dine little and often with perchance
.
One knowing glance
To slow the heart
Another then
To quicken
Through noble art’s
Heroic stance
Recovers zen provision
You for I
And I for you
Tis no more endless vision
Rendered by the sense of feelings true

Trustee to a masterpiece
The only one with master key
Mastered in endearing art of puppeteering arteries
The flame of camaraderie
Crusades to fame the charred debris
Strides artfully through acres of each plaintive heartbeat largely freed
Remarkably at ease
To see such beautiful disasterpiece
Recharging the belief that she will always be a part of me
Always be a part of me
Always be a part of me
Always be a part of me
Part of me
Part of me

Fashioned from the ashes of her lashes as she bats them
With the passion of abandon and the standing of aristocrat
Hers is the assistance act to speak with sweet insistence that abstract trees in the distance
Are adaptive when arisen
With the swell of cell division
In foretell of recommission
The provision of coherent interweave
.
Beautiful disaster
Indisputable remaster
Of the starry skies sought after
By my forefathers before me
.
Storyteller eyes
That tell a tale of graced reprise
Embraced in kind by rising tide of frameless gaze
.
Prelude to a chapter
Veined to stainless rays of rapture
Where spacious days of age evade the capture of disgrace
For they claim stature elevated by the venerated height of each regenerative light
About you native to free flight
And my brief life
Is thus concisely dedicated
To the rise
Of such a beautiful disaster
Greatest masterpiece refined
.
Idol of my heart hereafter
Undeniably divine
Shall love you to the day the last star dies
.
Beautiful disaster

Idol of my heart hereafter

I’m resigned to play the part of devotee
