• When first, I saw within my eyes,
    The tree that grew from darkened seas,
    Mother nature bathed in twilight,
    Birthing love just for a "me."
    I felt a quake rumble below,
    And fling me far across the blue,
    Catching songbirds in my hair,
    That guided me right to a "you."
    We spoke, and sang, and nested there
    A "hope" we fed the morning glare
    That wiggled from the blackened ground,
    Leaving a trail from roots to crown.
    "Curse this skin upon my chest,
    That keeps our hearts from being one."
    I pulled you closer, delving in
    A me in your soul, while in myself, none.
    You then took a walk out from your feet,
    And danced upon the still remains
    Of those, our bodies, lovingly ill,
    From longing flowing through our veins.
    "A kiss" I say into your lungs,
    "Embrace" I speak out from my pores,
    "I love" said the pained, waiting tongue,
    "A you" said "me" to the girl I adore.
