Vidalia - Collaboration with Styxian

I Love You
Like roses bleed the color red
Blooming velvet petals of flesh
Gifting bouquets of life
 
     Consummating consonants
     as we vocalize the vowels
     Words held our hands
     until our hands held us
     in physical sentences
 
Like the sky breezes into the blue
Creating fingers of soft air
Tracing your silhouette
 
     Leading to night, candlelight
     exposing skin above shadow
     Like day once brightened us
     now we lay heightened
 
Like the sun kisses skin into gold
With patient warm lips
Tinting flavors of you
 
      Mouths tripping over tongues
      Forgiving cigarette breath
      and Spanish onions
      for the sake of instant rapture
      because tonight is now
      and not tomorrow
 
Like parched soil wishes for
Spring rainbows
Brightening your soul
 
    Like love, the storm before
    that makes the dell turn lush
    Like the blush, as our faces grace
    the warmth of the other
 
Like tides sing to the moon
In harmony with midnight
Serenading you to sleep
 
     'Til the beckoning of awake
     early, for time is winding
     our bodies into currents
     joining, the luxury of our limbs
     as our kisses reach for shared breath

I wrote this for you
But life is hard
Decided to keep it for myself
 
     And yet here we are
     words settled down
     on the night table
     as we serenade with sounds
     our previous dreams.
