Some fall in love with golden hair,
With sea green eyes and snow white skin,
I fell when I first saw you smile,
Joy in life, tugging, aching,
Burning wish-fullness into want,
Setting alight your fire in me,
Making me smile too.

Darkness glitters
at the edge of sight,
Fading slowly
at the dawn of light,
Luminescence
grows slow, unseen,
Dark clad hills strip
and grey blushes green.

Comfort-blanket memories sooth,
Ash tasting, soul eating, ending youth,
Fleeing tears streak, stain and bleed,
Aches unspoken, howls and screams,
Black and beaten, unclean iron,
Hollow heart, gnawed to the bone,
Ember under water's weight,
Sizzling into last embrace,
Wings unfeathered, snake-eyes close,
The unknown hurts, together we lose.

I roll over in bed, lonely and cold,
Stretching for the solace of touch,
Empty space fills my fingers,
No scent, nor taste, to steal or share,
No whisper, breath, or beating heart,
Only silence and naked wanting.

Leeching light, vampire-like, her eyes burn,
Stolen attention lingers, cloyingly sweet,
Pearly laughs cling, bedeviling,
Shaking hips, like a disapproving finger,
Rising tides hold secrets close, unveiling,
A smirking smile, sweet as the taste of death,
Oh, angel lips, fallen to hell's debauchery,
Legs like an ignored muse, passion banked,
Hair's flick-kiss, black-heart dark,
Spicy scent, alcohol-like, inebriating,
Breathing deep the essence of the bonfire rose,
Ghost dance footprints fade and fulfill,
Everest's peak, an unscalable life-long goal,
Her free, stained-glass heart, my hopeless hope.

When the March moon is sleeping,
The night is set alight,
With song and dance,
And iridescent greedy glow,
In passion and fury,
Celebrate the present,
Take up arms and live!
For all the stars in the heavens riot!
Flinging firelight across the infinite,
To claim the impossible victory,
Dwarfed, we join in their concerto,
Screaming, Crying, Bleeding,
Out the simple message,
WE ARE HERE!
