Freedom Flights
The darkness chased,
I continue forth in flight,
To the warmth of light.
You
It's you,
Because my heart beats for you.
It’s you,
Because my soul yearns for you.
It’s you,
Even if you left.
It’s you,
Even if I can longer call you mine.
It’s you,
And will always be you.
Rebirth
It is the beginning,
It is the blessing of life,
It is the phoenix,
Reborn from its ashes.
Fleur
O’ Eros
Please let me
Be free
From your arrow
From the tip
A seed blooms in my heart
Rooted deep in my chest
I cough up my love
In blood and petals
Clouding my mind
In pain and pleasure
Death
Do not be afraid of death my dear,
For death is our friend.
Do not shun death my dear,
For he is vengeful.
Do not ask of death my dear,
For he will never give.
Do be weary of death my dear,
For he is unknown.
Do be open with death my dear,
For he is forever.
Do be peaceful with death my dear,
For he is your guardian.
