Poems for Mercutio

Heartlines

I was immersed in the blankets of love

Millions of birds lay on my mind's cracks

But i only saw, that one white dove

That sewed my eyelids with a thread of flax

Blinding me, pulling me, locking me down

And i stepped on my curse's edge

Wrapped it around me, heavy in my heart's town

Willingly i fall, thus i embrace you, i pledge

My senses awaken, hearing your movement 

They reverse my world, submerge my fever

My eyes burn, holding the wild abutment

I hear the echo, pounding the clever

Whispering my heart's secret, standing bare

Burning in your gaze's flames, i discerned 

And i felt the rapid closeness, i felt no air

Your eyes mirrored my own, they never turned

My blood is singing, a beast in my chest

Noise explodes, it mutes the world's sound

Soul and body, singing your love, a manifest

Drumming, pouring all over the hollow ground

I hungered your touch, smelled your scent

Searched your stormy eyes, fed on your voice

The fool i've been wanting to prevent

The destiny, no, there was no choice

Tenderest touch, your candent breath

Kindest of kisses, it spills on my skin

Hardest of hearts, shattered in death

As you draw my heartlines, red and thin

You release and cage my heart and bones,

Binding me to you in the next world.
