You can use my chest to hear the ocean. Swim in my veins and I will sail your eyes. The earth is our canvas as we remember our trees' growing; Like leaves embraced by wind, we are whisked to the skies. The joining of lips will stop Time's grip, Because he decides: "I shall take them never; Forever paired." Impossibly split, even if Fates river were to drown our endeavors. I would fight the harsh rapids, aided by my will To have your soul again within my grasp. Death before failure; I would cry a horrid shrill If another won you with his beautiful mask. All above is a fiction often recited By my thoughts to my soul, so lonesomely reminded.
