with fingers for lips
he slipped underneath
deboning human skin
strung up my ribs on the ceiling
under which we dangled
femurs and phalanges
on super strings
chiming 3-part harmonics
on black galactic wind
him, me, Everything
tender clinks silencing
floored motionless flesh
I was not bones, nor skin
but oms inciting orbital dance
spinning with him invisibly
with heartlids pinned back
pounding the key of eternity

don’t bite the hand
that feeds you

or break the heart
that helps you
When we first spoke
I felt anew
Beneath your eyes
A wild garden grew

With lillies and roses
All blue and all bright
With glitter and gleam
Like a fairy or sprite

Your laugh and smile
Ignite a fire
That illuminates and glows
And sparks desire

With flames and embers
And heat so warm
I burn when you look at me
I weather your storm

Although time can be
A cruel old friend
Ill never forget to love you
Ill love you until i forget myself
In the darkest days and brightest nights,
You're there for me when no one is.
Your smile a cure for every ache.
As the war continues,
You're the safe haven I turn to.
When I am around you
The butterflies come swarming
You make me breathless
