Glory, Fall and Hope
All life is splendid now
Your loving heart
Wholly belongs to me
Wrapped in healthy roses
Full hope and trust I have
With you, glory is priceless
Your shining eyes fix mine
I feel my heart is taken
Promises made you honour
It’s another glory in paradise
In your breath, I live majesty
As your caresses are lovingly
They engulf and engage me
Your tongue is so supple
To yield sweet in my mouth
I sing glory after beauty
In your defence, I stand strongly
I fear no wind and no rain
I am ready to walk on eggs
To go through a bush of prickles
Now as glory has quenched
The sun sets randomly
The evening becomes windy
At the horizon, I can see you
My voice can no more reach you
So I no more dream
My past dreams haunt me
Your words are merciless
Your lyric lies and pierces my heart
But still, I will stay true to myself
Another day will come
When flowers will smell
The beauty of the heart to restore hope
And my bleeding heart will heal
My tears will dry and wipe
