I am under no midnight illusions.
For I know where my heart lies.
It doesn’t lie in the sunlight
Or in a valley of lilies.
There are no pretty princes
For caged princesses here.
There’s danger
And wickedness.
There’s wintry nights
And summer shade.
Because I am sin,
Cloaked in mulberry twilight.
I am despair,
Dressed in delicate
Dahlias.
I have been weak
And made others feel
The same.
But I do not let
This be another memory on
Rewind.
For I believe
In moonlit nights
And ocean breezes.
Love at first sight
And art that makes you weep.
I believe in breathless
Longing,
And all the passion and pain
That comes along with it.
Not because I keep the faith.
Or because I believe in poetic kismet.
No, because I believe in the
Devastating brutality of
Love,
And the fragile beauty behind it.
I believe that what has been lost,
Can always be found.
Even monsters dream of
Love sometimes.
