For the one I will never have, but will always have a special place for in my heart.

~Astraea


Time lost in a maelstrom of light
          Drifting, searching, lost
Looking for an invisible genie
          Dreaming, wishing, wake
Hoping for a vision come true

I lose my head
          Don't forget me now!
          Don't forget our sharing
          Protect me always

Swirls of color dancing
          Euphoria entrancing
          Dazed submission
          Heartache felt
Sinking into an abyss
          the darkness swallows whole
Fighting a mirror
          having it shatter to pieces
A knife at my throat
          ceasing to breathe
The walls closing in
          shrinking what's been possessed
Voices in my head
          taking my own away
The color fades
The spinning stops
The intoxication melts
          And still my heart aches

I lose control
  Don't let go of me!
          Don't let me get away
          Hold me close

Moving, shifting
          time moves forward
Sensing, dreaming
          anticipation builds
Everything once known
          dwindles away
I once had then,
          I lose now
Slipping far
          the dream smashes
Going away
          time never stops

I lose my home
          Don't leave me alone!
          Don't kill the memories
          Be with me

Breathing softly,
          I scarcely move
          afraid the vision might break
Turning away,
          I pretend all is right
          knowing that we could never be
Closing eyes,
          I wish I had not seen you
          remembering everything like a diamond
Mind swirling
          I smile wistfully in heady thought
          confusion touching my life
Wishing on a clouded star
          I hope you have your own wish granted
          hating myself for wanting to be yours
And as the sun rises
          touching the hills
I look at you
          soft breath
          turning back
          blinded
          falling
          hoping
I run away

I lose my heart
          Don't break my gift!
          Don't break it into sand
          Love me tenderly

"Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things."

More incredible work...you have awesome talent, do keep it up!

 *Krista Knutson*

~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack,
Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare,
Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water,
Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha
