Did your lips whisper ‘love’ or did longing trick my ears?

I gazed and the sky ignited, ablaze in twilight's tears.

To capture your smile in verse, I chased the moonlit night

Saw diamonds glisten, falling from the crown of Lucifer's light.

Hold your tears, those fragile gems that well within your gaze, I yearn to be the edelweiss that blooms in your lonely maze.

I walked with you hand in hand on countless paths… but why this shroud of blue muslin, a symbol so bland?

Our love once burned bright, a flame that danced so free, now only ashes remain, a haunting memory.
