Diamond tears

As I sink my teeth into your bones

Cascades of fire compliment the moonlight

Your body bathed in my love, my hands in your hair

I never knew love until the sun set behind me, gentle Ray's stroking the redden cheek, soft and sweet.

I never knew art until I watched you sleep, curled in vulnerable and pure, resisting to touch no easy feat.

I never knew anger until I saw you weep, messy and wet, a storm soaked beach.

I never knew joy until I heard you laugh, loud and booming, juicy, a peach.

I never knew ecstasy until I touched you, raw, exposed and completely alone, naked as a babe first cut from the cord.

I never knew power until I knelt and bowed a head to you, gone the Noble crown, to hell with being adored.

I never knew living until I heard your name. No song as sweet, no wine as sultry, you are the definition of poetry. I knew nothing 'til I knew of you.
