I'm going to try this again, now that I've finally gotten my work copyrighted. Enjoy.

Kiss of Death

breath after breath
beat after beat
oh my love
you work in deceit

of all I had given
or promised to thee
you may still have
and I will still be

you steal my breath
you numb my soul
must our love perish?
must we let go?

slowly, slowly
my breaths shorten, now
my heart slowly stopping
my body going down

t'was the kiss of death
you'd given to me
the love we once had
was too false to be

____

deep steady breaths
her face pressed to his shoulder
soft moonlit steps
one after another

he holds her close
dancing barefoot in the sand
he touches her cheek
she kisses the palm of his hand

rhythmic heartbeats
from his chest she could hear
the gentle little pulses
of his heart against her ear

he kisses her cheek softly
his words in a slight slur
he presses his lips to her ear
and whispers that he loves her

____

you with your beautiful mind
your words are so deep
and your thoughts so divine
alone I am as my heart rests cold
and you share your affection
but I'm not as bold
I get pushed away so easily
yet you, I know
could see right through me
my heart is a rose
my mind is a dove
I await my affection
come forth
my true love

____

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
True charm comes from the words of her lover
Friends are simply angels in disguise
In his opinion his fool words are wise
In the light a blind man sees darkness
The maiden you see is a scheming adulteress
When things appear fine; the just may not be
Do not base things upon what others see.


More to come later. <33
