And I'm getting off on the thought of it
Your loving pumping arteries
I'm just glad to watch you move
how you take in breath and then you lose
what could have been different in some small exhange
a moment in the past now rearranged
all the things i would have done
if i could have done something different.

Let's drown in a sea of colours.
Close your eyes, dearest friend,
just let yourself go and stop
to think and start to dream.
It is not even hard...
I know you never wanted me,
yet you are so close and the
less you want me, the more
I want you.

My heart donned a shining armor.
I wear my sword and shield, but
at nights sleep when I feel safe,
your dark dagger eyes make me
bleed, bleed me out and bleed me
empty, wash out all my fears and
all the feelings until I am
reduced to a heavy-grey leaden
ball with only so much as an
echo of emotion.

Yes, dearest friend, that's the
only price one pays - your grip
might slip and you may lose
control, and you may find yourself
~
~
~
floating in a current
where one hundred different
hands tuck at your shell
in a hundred different
directions and your only
purpose is to not be ripped
apart.

I keep breathing, dearest friend,
I stay alive another day -
until you decide to drown with me.
But yet ~
I dream in monochrome.

Eros

Onoma
Aphrodite carried me--

my vessel floated in her belly.

growing eyes to see as she sees,

growing a heart to feel as she feels.

life made a permanent vision,

my mother set before me.

as gold in all its precious paleness--

begins and ends by beauty's word

shy of her.

when she let me out of her--i was the

essence all essences crave.

they desired after me, so i began to gather

them--in honor of my mother.

i am Eros...and my only desire is to fulfill

yours.
