As the sunset meets your eyes
While they sing their quiet lullaby
Your thunderous brow lit aflame
By the sun's hand this May

Lightning strikes as if it were meant to cry
Setting its hair into the sky
Gently enough to calm the breeze
But loud enough to break my knees

But your hands- they catch me
Wring away the melancholy
And you laugh like you meant to give whispers
We; I; You; the sinners

With lips as fine as an empire's shout
And hands as equally strong as your mouth
I swear I might see wings sprout from your back
Catching the wind with an audible crack

And all is silent; nothing moves
It is just I with you
A moment or a second to believe
That lovers exist such as we

Or you, perhaps I this night
Make quick like the storm's plight
Darkness will set in soon and bring the dawn
Will you arise and tell me this is all wrong

But you and I- we, the countered pair
Like statues of ebony and marble fair
We watch; you listen and I speak
Whispers I wish I could both hear and see

Imagine your smile, enchanting too fast
That I fear it may not last
But still; the dawn has come
I sleep now and you yawn

You stretch like a house cat
Purring and smiling on your back
With me nestled against your side
And the dawn held between us this time

Should you leave? Should you stay?
Would it matter what they say?
You ask a question but it is lost in a kiss
If my heart is meant to be broken; let it be broken like this.

"Quixotic Lovers"

I looooove it. <3 The rhyme scheme, the flow, the imagery. I looove it. Period.

oooh, nifty
