The tear has fallen only rivers shall follow,
In sadness, the memories were similar to beauty--
sorrowing, the flower weeping for the petal
and you the one that held it on a fingertip,
I have departed thoughts ablaze--
hoping to catch the ashes, which faded into dust
dark as the shadows below the longing.

Where do dragons drift upon a clouded flight,
And beyond—white as the purest of souls--
sun cast on the ground feeling trembling
and fear bathed in doubt of existence,
Deepening we sparkle in thoughts--
I hear of loss and the rains of the heart
among the scent of a windblown dream.

You still stare at stars but not at me,
Waking the moonflow set with fireflies--
all light does go out but can flicker back
the lifestream never passed night,
Nor filled with restless ghosts that were meant for hell--
It scatters through us all yet shows no flaw
what is perfection—unit our energies and fall apart.

Do you feel trembling and fear?
For all this, unearthed, you to be--
a beauty with a vanishing love
an unending sigh does echo in silence,
Where do dragons drift if but alone--
and beyond in trembling and fear
like me and you.

the title caught my eye automatically. "trembling and fear" sounds like the title to an AFI song (my fav band) so this is why i love your work. they're meaningful words.
