Ecstacy

When this began,

I’d never hurt so much,

When it passed,

I’d never forget as such,

Eyes red,

I never really understood,

Heart's shred,

I’d almost given up for good.

I should’ve listened,

I should’ve paid you heed,

And now I cry,

For my hasty deed.

I closed my eyes

When you needed me,

Never looked back,

Knowing what you meant to me.

The vile vine,

That I pursued,

Hushed my mind

With a grasping hood.

I didn’t see,

Where lead me it would,

And ensconced my descent,

As only life’s rose could.

And now I linger,

In these exiled lands,

Where Hope’s box,

Rests in Pandora’s hands...

Then in this abyss,

The light I discerned,

As you appeared,

Broken dreams were turned.

Now I lie,

In this Ecstasy,

And even though,

I leave a Gemini,

Never before,

Have I perceived,

A calming melody,

As my soul now sings.
