A yearning hangs in the air

(saturating the night with disguised despair)

Graceful in you self-persuasion

(it will be alright in the returning light)

Shelter layers submitted to Night

(desires in anticipation)

Composing a swelling of swansongs

(embellished by the worship of lips)

Tension in the ampules flesh

Compelled by a volatile nature

Distilling to snuff out what's left

Of feigned identity

Destroyed in ecstasy

Slip away as it slips inside

Baptized in shameless waters

Cries; a transcendent language

Satiate the hunger

Satiate the hunger

Hidden behind your lover's pinions

Is a blade forged to cut you down

Resign to its probing ways

Release to receive

Release to receive

Blood runs hot

Entrails reveal

What your face conceals

Your spirit delights

In certain death

Names cast to obscurity

Night sonnets when the shades drawn

And no eyes to discern the identity

Of what remains when you are gone

Angels in envy avert their eyes

Watching as libertines pass them by

Immaculate heat of frenzied flame

You and I will never be the same again

You came upon me

On your way back down

Salt sweated sweetly

Upon your crown

And any would be foundation

Has anointed the expanse

Of our boundless crime scene

Where a pair of fools

Murder their masks unseen

Resurrected for a show that never ends
