Thy hair brightly burns as the fire in thine eyes.
Ardent lips kiss my fissured heart
As I remain blind to thy frail lies.

Beside thee, writhes the demon of thy soul;
Acidulous words leave thy tongue
And I prepare to plummet whole

Into the golden sleep of thine asphyxiating air.
Tears bleed as I follow
Thy seraphic beauty fair.

As I close my eyes and wade into the quietus of this dream,
Tilt my head back and begin to fall,
I put all my cherished hopes in thee.
