Forever

Bright, a flame
you are my soul
kindled of passion
burning lust,
you are fulfilled
in my touch
the caress
of eternity
of timelessness
death
lies in your eyes
and I am blind

Crying

Sing to me of echoing silence
Dance under shimmering moonlight
The lilt of pipes like honey to mine ears

Fill me with your promises
Caressing like bramble-thorns
On my chilled flesh

Let the flame that is your heart
Burn to embers in my soul
Let the day wash my tears to dust
