Remove that scarred blanket covered with regret

and bathe in light of a distant, blazing star.

The speed of love is radiant, never forget.

*

Darkness, a figment in this endless pirouette,

can never overshadow your brilliant avatar.

Remove that scarred blanket covered with regret.

*

Symbiosis, coexistence, a forever duet.

Invites you to cross that precious reservoir.

The speed of love is radiant, never forget.

*

Release your doubt... love can beget.

The right moment will amaze like a rare Renoir.

Remove that scarred blanket covered with regret.

*

Chastising yourself will only reset

the window of hope you’ve left ajar.

The speed of love is radiant, never forget.

*

Self-preservation — the ultimate project,

discovers heliocentric traits, reaching from afar.

Remove that scarred blanket covered with regret.

The speed of love is radiant, never forget.
