Safe and sound
Save our souls
Desire runs through my veins
Coffee flows in yours

Shared glances and downcast smiles, Fill,
heads swimming with caffeine, and,
nights and the space in between
　　   Empty rooms
　　 - filled with people -
Brown eyes return my gaze, unabashed.

My eyes run
up
and
 down
Tracing the lines of your body
Like patterns in the stars,
And music in their light,
in your eyes,
I fall,
Into your voice..

(Where was I...?)

Proximity lights stars...

To walk upright with grace and a smile on my face;
sardonic, amused, only a hint of disdain.
I'm still learning to be as perfect as I can,
to know myself fully,
to change who I am.

And I see who you truly are.
The center of your self,
you tell my of your scars,
you whisper your secrets,
you share in the dark.
You trust me enough,
words twist a melody into your heart;
strike away your inhibitions,
you wanted this from the start.

I keep the focus on you
while you spill out your heart,
I don't wear mine on my sleeve,...

Words whispered in hushed voices snaked their way through the dark.
Carefully built walls, torn apart in love’s destructive wake; unprotected souls
Playing in my natural light, dancing in your darkness, contaminating one with the other.
No one is protected, no one is safe, neither emerge unscathed.

Walking out of the darkness, mine ideas previously unknown,
Grown from Love’s broken whispers, Her fractured mind
Harboring demons of her own, living, growing up with her, inside;
These new skeletons join the demon to shout in my mind,
Raging, Ravaging,...

Can you feel her body shudder?
The trembled murmur in her chest?
Can you taste the trepidation, Her sweat,
Beading down her breast,
Rising and falling
Hear her Gasping for breath.

Did you know this all along?
Could you feel where you went wrong?
Did you watch your back?
Can you see?
You stole her heart.
She locked up your soul
And threw away the key

Is this what makes you feel alive?
This can you survive..
ARE YOU ALIVE!

Take a breath.
Your last
As she pulls you in;
Close the deal,
Take your...
