of veils & ashes

we barely knew eachother then
like tattered paperdolls & broken dreams
you scribbled my pages with whispers of love that made the gods jealous
written with trembling fingers in the gasps of a prayer
so that the only breath I would ever know was yours

I remember in the secrets of my soul I smiled shyly like a school girl
slipped the jaded innocence up slowly over my thighs
rosed. in love
heart in hands

under splintered halos
stealing kisses of angel fire
..you were the boy to save me from my sins
