Shared Affection

4/24/2013

 

It’s a precarious thing

When life is born

Within this bleeding

Wretched form

Secrets hidden

From minds of clay

To place their wrists

Farther away

From the tainted kiss

Of all I may.

 

Drawn like portraits

Black waters swell

With shared affection

Only time will tell

Light my every star

Hung from the skies

Meet me tonight

In stain glass eyes

 

To watch us move

In fear, just to follow

Leaving tracks in desecration

Deep in the earth hallow

For all that moves

In fallow motes, still

Remains there freely

In mine, a perverse will

The constant of time

Will vanquish your body

And then, your mind

In time.

 

A familiar distracter

Replaces the deity

But there is no denying

You could have, enthrallingly,

Curved the constant flames

Of the suns violet rays

Forsaken misfortunes

Let stars shine on our days

When they cast no light

And the road home is a maze

Put images in our sight

Return my desperate gaze

 

And home is a place

Within yourself

And love is a vase

You left on the shelf

And now I share hate

With no one else
