Bitter seclusion, I want to set you afire. My eyes would flare with your reflection. Flicker, my lips pay no mind to being cast away etch my name upon your conscience why do you hold this rose in clenched fist blood and petals slip through fingers scattered in the wind oh, why we bend so sour red. sore hands have held your kiss, like peppermint. Swirled, our sins.. Still picking thorns from palms.. a garden of unanswered prayers. beneath the skin i buried deep your promise but nothing grows in frozen earth your distance frosts the seed of we And I..we.. trust not the fire that burns here, fault of water that falls from inside.. iced tears that we have cried, melting away.. I will hold your seclusion, as if it were not my own. |

I love each of your writing seperately, but it's ten times more powerful when done together. Bravo ![]() For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, |
