From The Darkness Grew A Rose...

I had a dream...
and in this dream, the devil offered me a rose, with kind eyes...
Behind him stood a young woman,
who stared at me with a confident gaze...
My soul reached out for her, my heart ablaze..
This strange woman then motioned that I look up,
My eyes were then drawn to the sky...
I noticed a number of the most peculiar looking stars,
counting five, passing through eachother and multiplying as they went.
I looked back at the woman-
who was now dancing, slowly,
with her eyes closed.
A bright light seeped through her eye lashes-
trailing in the air as she gracefully spun-
and though she was at a distance-
I felt as though we were one.
I looked back up, and the stars were still moving sequentially.
Oddly enough, they stopped, gleamed,
and swirled together, to form a pattern in the cosmos,
that resembled the symbol of virgo-
the stars moved like script in motion.
The symbol appreard in the palm of my hands.
I then looked over at the young woman.
Strange and unfamiliar memories of her arose in my mind, I tried to remember...
She stood watching me, her face glittered with light.
Curiously stepping towards me, her amber eyes glimmered.
The space around her rippled like desert heat.
She approached me cautiously,
like a child would an angel.
She touched my lips,
took my hands, and whispered...,
we are more than what we appear to be, look within...
She then motioned to give me a kiss, and then disappeared into my body...
