Angel
I bled sweet nothingness onto the paper.
Your scent swirled around my senses.
I basked in your light,
Utterly fulfilled in your presence.
Take me away...far, far away from here.
Broken the barrier,
Flood into the darkness.
The utter beautification of your rays.
Soak deep in my skin,
Wash away my sins.
Exuberant wings,
Wrap around my heart.
Squeeze until no more of my wine drips without your permission.
Is it loves tender whisper I feel caressing in my ear?
Without my will,
And no more than a second thought,
I gladly give into you.
He says to me, "Do not open your lips for the screams that burst from within will be mixed with pleasure and pain."
