Spiked Heart

Please, be arisen from a sleep
O spiked heart, with thorns that bled
Don't be afraid, and gently keep
Your grace within the locks of satin red

And as the veins of living green
Carry a few cold drops, unseen
Breathe, but don't inhale the salty air
Of seas and oceans down there

Please, make for now all worries stop
Don't feed on teardrops you've just shed
Be brave, and keep on dancing with the hope
To anywhere your roots are led

And though you're safe under the glass
With no fierce winter to surpass
Don't feel the breeze, I beg, don't freeze
Just spell me with your burning kiss!
