I kissed her lips, and there it lay, A spark too bright, it burned the way. My heart, a knight, too bold in jest, Did strike the blade into her chest. But playful are the steps of doom, A laugh can bloom, then seal the tomb. I held her safe, too tight a grasp, Her breath escaped; love did not last. Desire swelled and drowned the air, Its weight too fierce for one to bear. Yet love, a riddle, thrives to die, For every fire must meet the sky.

The Art of a Lovers Hand
I kissed her lips, and there it lay, A spark too bright, it burned the way. My heart, a knight, too bold in jest, Did strike the blade into her chest. But playful are the steps of doom, A laugh can bloom, then seal the tomb. I held her safe, too tight a grasp, Her breath escaped; love did not last. Desire swelled and drowned the air, Its weight too fierce for one to bear. Yet love, a riddle, thrives to die, For every fire must meet the sky.
