I would first like to thank everyone for the advice and feedback you have left in my other drops. I truly appreciate it and am definitely trying to grow from it. One flaw I noticed in my work was a huge lack of imagery and language to paint the scene, which is what I've been pushing myself to improve upon. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.
We shall only be together in our dreams.
I have learned to accept this fact.
Your heart, that divine jewel
Resting within your chest
Shall never be mine alone.
I am not worthy of it.
I would only cause its luster to fade.
You, a spring meadow
Bringing life with every step you take.
Flowers come to life when you smile.
The birds chirp alongside your laughter.
Your scent in sync with the pines.
Every word you speak reverberating across infinity.
You are the quintessence of life
Wrapped inside a mortal frame.
I, a maelstrom of darkness
Causing crops to wither and animals to flee.
Blooming corpse flowers all around me
The scent of pervades my surroundings.
While crows and vultures circle around
In a storm covered sky.
I am the quintessence of death
Wrapped inside a mortal frame.
No wonder I lust after that which you have to offer.
Yet I cannot bring myself to do so.
I am enamored by you and the beauty you exude.
And shocked that you find beauty within me too.
Life and death revolve around one another.
For time eternal.
Just like me and you.
