jewels in her skin
sing and let it spawn,
from where i saw the shadows dance and pull at your soul,
therein streaming kisses carefully woven to find their way,
to the overlooked cellar , brimming of wine
just like your lips and your heart is the chamber cell,
where you keep me captive even with the cell door open.
and nothing holds me in here but the way your dreams burn through
your eyes, the way your hair soaks the ocean and the sun kisses your eyelids, but never a word outspoken.
and i would stay here forever, and i will be what you want,
and want what you need,
because i am entangled on the ropes you'd let most people go from,
in these arms god has written promises , and so help him they will bind us together, and it will be better than the world you left behind,
and summer that winter conjures, just as the moon pleads with the sun
for lovers must return to the home they never knew.
