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!
