To Share Flesh And Blood

Cracked goblet in the window of the bedroom
Flames of the bedsheets paint the room with silhouettes, shadows, and ash
Perfect heat to create this flame without burning us
Then lust is seeded by the little stains at our feet

Bare of romantic silk robes and gowns, we paint eachother's flesh
Graceful is the midnight sky, pyres draw heavenly constellations above
Pillows feel like your chest; blankets your hair and embrace, please cover me forever
Hearts now pounding like angry drums into eachother's forbidden wake

I wish I could pray that this never end; but I cannot overt my eyes from you
You're like earth veiled in priceless silk, I cannot let go to clasp my hands
Starved, let us feed eachother a drunken daze
Your hold heals wounds; I'm no longer bleeding

Now with you, my childhood and innocence; please remove my dead
Though coffins are many a tonne, I trust you have the strength to take them away
Pluck black and crimson roses from my teeth; feed insects inside me your poison
Kill my long-dead, kill each beetle that bites me whenever I see him
Now for you, a real grin
