The Dragonfly

I can see the rainbow from here.
And I walk on the ground of endless diamonds
Feeling it twist beneath my feet
But now I'm falling through the mist
Below and beyond the mystical boundaries of life
My whisper thrown upward, rides on the wind
I want to be with you
I am doing nothing but tasting your feelings
And feeding off your thoughts
As it seems the ocean yearns for freedom
And gets the reflection of life.
As sweet as a dove, and as humble as a lie.
You sit in the sea made of glass
Showing me the dragonfly that has me eluding my fears
I can't find you anywhere.
And I want to drown you in my love, but I'm done tasting the truth
Through the sweetness of my dream.
My illusions can run, but they can't run forever.
And when they stop I will struggle and fight with them - to keep this love alive.
This is everything and more than I could of dreamt of,
The feeling is surreal.
It brings to me, the brightest part of my day.
So when I see the river flow, and the stars in the night shine off it,
I step back to see my desire for true love floating on my soul,
Shining off the face of the water, pressing against my faceless chest.
It tingles from the time you tell me you love me too.
I pray you feel the same way I do.
I get a rush - from the caffeine of the love you breathe and live on.
And the way you live your life,
Makes me feel like the dragon brought to a slaughter.
So help me now Dragonfly, because I need love.
