Raven haired gives shadow
Returning no light
Dark eyes bleed fire
Glimmering light
Sharp tongue desire

A faceted soul,
More than sides to a coin
Mirrored Gemini, teeth bite
The long other side
From murderous delight
Love's deepest desire
Longing, welling, romantic

Like a diamond you shine
Uncut, raw passion
A jeweler's bind
Pieces of lapis
Vein fractured soul

Beautiful and broken
Delicate, strong to behold
Like a feathered breeze
You want to take flight
To love you is to hold you,
Give you touch, but
Forever you cringe

The lessons you learned
Affection is not told
History is family
Totally unknown
Approval denied

Fairy desire
Princess' hero a lie
Nothing to live for
Everything must die
Cruel reality's lie

My heart breaks, always cries
To hear you defeated
I listen to your whys
Let me help heal your hope
Build a future, so fine
Build dreams together
Please, Babe, try

At first glance
You were untouchable
Beauty made physical
Ethereal, perfect
Sweater red, jeans blue

You said I was unreadable
Couldn't see what, why
I paused because I was stunned
Lost my words, I was in love
The first time consumed
Couldn't keep my heart in its place
It's drum, total unrest

Up the stairs, I followed
I would follow you anywhere
To the grave, ashes mixed
Barely, I could speak
My throat clenched

We drove for a while
Even now, memories awash
I gathered my courage
Touched your hand at a light
We had talked through letters
Long through the night, but
Nothing to prepare me, for the touch

You dressed for the night
Dinner, enchiladas, steak and that night
I froze when I saw you
Still to this day
You'll never grow older
My heart beat much harder
Eyes upon you, a moment told you

We drank red wine and each other
Hours, in the night
A massage, you were bolder
We held hands, yours so soft
First time, all I wanted
But in time I asked you
For a kiss that smoldered

That night I saw you
With lips, outlined dark
Perfect, quivering in dream
Bottom, pouting and plump
Curves, tender and touched

I kissed you with fire
Melted ice volcanic
Worshipped your body
But all in love with your soul
Made love in the candles
Held you while nightmares racked
That too short night

But I'll always remember
Our first kiss in twilight
Your eyes were unknowing
That my lips
Kissed in love

Close and closer still
Dry your beautiful tears
My arms around you
Gotten me through
Too many nights

Our legs entwined
Warmth, twilight's touch
Sun kissed in candle light
Blood red fingered tipped
Your eyes hooded
But sparkling and bright
Take you in rapture

But that's not why I'm with you
My Little Biscuit, it's much more than lust
That's only physical,
A moth to the flame
A search untamed

You are elemental in nature
A wind, gusting, a blade
Your voice, beautiful
Rage, unadulterated pain
You are the mirror
To which fire
Measures flame

Anxiety and fear
Blacken out your light
If you allowed unveiling
All the world, frozen
Like I saw you in dress

From the first moment I saw you
To worst in fight, your hand raised to strike
Always I loved you, always my life
Unconditional love
Love at first sight
You mock, deny and bite
But in a moment I loved you
Changed my whole life

I am learning to love you
Everyday, a new light
Your brightness, my devotion
Your plight is my fight
If you'll let me have might

Tell you, ok
Everything's alright
We'll get through this
Together, love
Commitment and tight

Everyday
No matter the fight
However the mood
I tell you so much
Power is lost from the words

A romantic, sometimes
Broken hearted
But always, falling
To bloodied knees
Touching your face
A kiss, my love
To your lips, my Love

Dreams of your smile
Your softest touch
Just holding your hand
Touching your side
And pulling you close

I love you
Like the ocean
Can't control the dam
Like the highest mountains
Stretching for the skies
Like the moon and the stars
No heaven without you

Beats of my heart
A dance of the soul
Moon song's mournful cries
I want you in my arms
Need you close to my touch

I believe in you
Bright eyes when I first asked you
To be exclusively mine
To let me be just and only yours
I held you in my arms
And held you too long
Held you too tight

I remember when I asked you again
Surprise on your face
Tear in your eye
I asked you to love me
In a field, far from the lights

There was a starry night to witness
What better honor to love
Than twinkling lights
Ask you to marry me
Vow to preserve
Promise to love
Protect and help

Sometimes we fight
Brutal passions erupt
I split and desire
To take you
And hold

Wipe away your tears
Give you comfort
Devour your fears
I am not perfect
Sometimes I fail
But together
We strive

I love you like water
Overcoming and blind
You are my heart's song
My every tide
Every desire
