The Dazzling
I have not known a straightforward love
I guess I have not been fearless enough...
I have not been touched by Extraordinary
and I have not laughed in the spotlessness of Joy
I have not felt the true warmth of the sun passing through me and I have not lived, converting into Great
I have not collected the Dazzling
Those flawless little fireflies
And I have not yet drawn you in...
But I have had dreams that inform me you are authentic
And I will wait along that watchtower with no portions of regret
Oh for just the chance to see you there...
Pleading for all those hours and years I hold
Between your alabaster peonies and my crimson red lips
