YOU

midnight: your eyes are glittering vicious.

midnight: your smile’s a bloody maw.

midnight: bloodjagged, desire, abandon.

i’m terrified, moondark, in you.

 

daybreak: and you’re softkind, a warm place.

daybreak: a caressing heart-abyss.

daybreak: you’re circuitrazored beauty.

i’m comforted, sunbright, in you.

 

my love: scarflesh and contradiction.

my love: wordmagic, grace-torn wings.

my love: precious-brave, your strength your secret.

i’m awed and thrilled, starstunned, by you.
