Of Flesh And Blood
Saw you, in a way
And before I figured out
Life lines were drawn
Not to be erased
You opened up your eyes
Grey and green, piercing shards
Jeweled water and the night sky
Once two, became one
You opened up your mouth
Touched your lips to mine
Made a kiss to make death jealous
Your words have branded my mind
Commanding and undisturbed
Every breath an art
For a swift moment
Before our lips met again
Still, I hold the memory
Wrapped as if a ring
Our love of flesh and blood
And I sing, but only for you
And before I figured out
Life lines were drawn
Not to be erased
You opened up your eyes
Grey and green, piercing shards
Jeweled water and the night sky
Once two, became one
You opened up your mouth
Touched your lips to mine
Made a kiss to make death jealous
Your words have branded my mind
Commanding and undisturbed
Every breath an art
For a swift moment
Before our lips met again
Still, I hold the memory
Wrapped as if a ring
Our love of flesh and blood
And I sing, but only for you

This possesses a melancholy that the majority of readers will relate to, Evan. It's very bittersweet on the heart, as a lone song at sea. . .
Thanks a lot Ahavati, I was very hesitant to share this one. It's really personal to me and one of my favorites. I'm so glad you liked it.

Your comment is as refreshing as the summer rain in the desert, Viktor ;)
