He came in my time
Not I in his
Ripples in our spiraled universe make sparks
Dark wings wrapping my thin shoulders
The aroma of unblemished love lingers on feathers
You are a beautiful creature that'll never be mine
Ashen face is creased with youthful worries
But his kisses cover my forehead in unspoken communication
He won't speak, of course
Your dark eyes are brimmed with stories never told
Only seen
My soul unwinds beneath your gaze
Terrible creatures are hard to find
Those hide in the shadows of buildings
Voices echoing against brick walls
Furled beauty tarnished behind somber faces
You whisper in a rustling of leaves
Your voice are the trees' fingerprints
Let me curl against your back
Drift into an untainted slumber
I mustn't remember so much
So very fast
