Silver intertwines our lips,
Passion,
Sweet, hushing dawn...
Sparkling surrender of your eyes,
Quiet, my love...
Am I not enough to soothe your beckoning sadness?
Lay back,
Allow radiance in...
...As I sing gently....
So gently... 
Speaking to this haunting,
Blinding it by beauty,
Twisting it to shine,
So bright...
Captivated.

No longer a slave to their image of perfection,
I'll make you Free,
To see just who you are deep within...

As I write this Nightmare Into A Dream.~

The author's comments:
This is about how being with someone you love, and how they make you feel... Peaceful, beautiful, and just perfect... They love you with all of your imperfections, and they only want to sing you to sleep, and let you feel... Complete.~
This is for the boy that did that for me.
I still love you....<3

Very powerful and uplifting; something I'd read over if I was ever scared or unsure about something. Thought it was very good. Spot on, once again.

It's talking about how love will erase all the fears of life, how someone makes you feel peaceful and you have beautiful dreams instead of bad nightmares. And the first metaphor was supposed to be like the girls lips were silver, like lipstick color...

Didn't really like this one.. I don't understand the first lines metaphor.. And nightmares are dreams. xD So is she going to do nothing?

My petite vocabulary and knowledge cannot comprehend the beauty behind this peice of art. But, Although it's beyond my knowledge, I do know it's intensly plump with emotion. Fabulous job.
