Earthly Own

Charred Remains

When these words cry in a final flush of false peace and plastic love,

I want you to be my reflection to reveal the truth from the greed of lies.

When angels of Hell descend in the coming of vice and wickedness,

I want you to save me in your graceful arms of warmth and purity.

Before we take a leap into the twinkling night sky of the vast unknown,

kiss away the stars that threaten to tear apart our stained revelations.

Before we wish upon a midnight moon, sink deeply into my eyes and

kiss the glaze of fringed lust from my anemic body until we both explode.

Listen to my final request of eternal companionship and heed my desire,

for all that I am in need of, can be found in a faithful declaration of love.

Listen to my brushes along the satin of enticement and last words,

for I have entangled myself in the shades of Venus's iridescent robes.

Feel the dove's cage around my heart and stroke the gray coals to life,

branding your body softly on mine to finally break the seal of engagement.

Feel the sand slipping through my toes as I feast on thoughts of readiness,

branding the infinite symbol of marriage into the flesh of a newborn pearl.

With you by my side, I am ready for anything the demons have forgotten,

whether it be the trivial talk of the natural man or the world's blood thirst.

With you by my side, I will be able to conquer the dragons of my past,

whether they are thieves of my innocence or the devils of the underworld.
