THE DEEPEST LONGING
He is as brutal as the fires of hell.
He is as beautiful as heaven.
She is as cold as Satan's heart.
She is as beautiful as God's eyes.
They want to be them.
Stare at their beauty for it cannot be faltered.
Granted by the devil, kissed by jesus.
Perfection in it's darkest form.
Lustful intoxication ensures the mind.
Too pure to touch,
Too tainted to taste.
Walking aimlessly down lamp lit streets.
Hand in hand.
The wind combs through their stained black hair.
The darkest beauty.
The deepest longing.
