Pale Butterflies

And without you I'd be blue,

Dead in the face staring onto You,

With your eyes so pale deeper than my soul,

You are the one,

my embodied whole.

 

Kissing my lips across the crevass of your wings,

I'd tell you my secrets if only you could keep it,

Flowing down into sequenced eyes,

The arms that have held you i truly despise.

 

Many of times I've died alone,

But you make this interminable coffin feel like a home.

Down inside the silk of your skin,

You're my happiness,

You're my sin.

 

Cascading down in that intoxicating grin,

The devil in You,

Let. Me. In.

You are my nature,

Pure and Devine,

Into your heart I, intwine.

Flowing down into your fragile wings,

Who knew the color of my life with  would be a pale quiet queen.
