Underneath The Ivy

Underneath the ivy
Glistened dew drop dreams
Clutching onto safety
In a bay of tears
Swept away under the ice
Burning all that seemed
Carried on the winds like ash
Pearl and ivory sing

Underneath the ivy
Cherish the wilting dream
Underneath the ivy
Wild palms scream

Kept beneath the altar
Life’s unpleasantries
For some vague desire
Serving my own greed
Lovers wearing hearts like masks
In-between the sheets
Compliant servant to the past
Draped in jealousy

Underneath the ivy
Cherish the wilting dream
Underneath the ivy
Wild palms scream
