A slow break in the monotony, As low whispers fill my eyes. There is a silence on the air with a subtle cruelty, Redolent of my most feverish nights. Impressionable though you are, The fierce desire of each night spent lying awake so the coarse memory of your skin may plague my mind. The Kiss never seemed so haunting, So deathly. I can't believe it would look as I feel even today. I drink the remedy in silence, But not tranquility. Complacency is a mistaken innervation. Jaded though widely perceived as infallible truth. Divinity is as tranquility strives to be, For I have witnessed your gaze, And know it to be true.

Beauty In Resilience
A slow break in the monotony, As low whispers fill my eyes. There is a silence on the air with a subtle cruelty, Redolent of my most feverish nights. Impressionable though you are, The fierce desire of each night spent lying awake so the coarse memory of your skin may plague my mind. The Kiss never seemed so haunting, So deathly. I can't believe it would look as I feel even today. I drink the remedy in silence, But not tranquility. Complacency is a mistaken innervation. Jaded though widely perceived as infallible truth. Divinity is as tranquility strives to be, For I have witnessed your gaze, And know it to be true.
