In shadow and light
We entwine
There are two sides to every story
This is mine
.
In shadow and light
We entwine
There are two sides to every story
This is mine
.
I am dying
But then I guess in no small part
We all are
Bury me smiling
I shall tell you what my thoughts are
Underlying every one is primer of calm
Embalmed with She in mind
I dress each platelet as a bracelet of her charm
.

Would have no baseless qualm about disarming my defences
Should She flood my every sense
Place her hands around my throat
And choke with only the most holy of intentions
Then I would surely die
Without the vaguest apprehension
For detention in her arms
Bids reinvention to divine
Not to mention two hearts beating
With a penchant for revealing
This is mine
With a penchant for revealing
This is mine
(This is mine)
.
It takes two hearts to skip a beat
To make fine art a simple feat
To see inspired a fire to thrive
Survive the wake to feel alive
.
In shadow and light
We entwine
There are two lines of sight
This is mine

I am crying
Howbeit these tears they do not sting
For here’s the thing
These fresh springs
Are bereft of remorse
At bequest of due course to make known
Every swollen tear is beautiful when dutiful to growth
The grounds become renewable
Condoned of tone immutable
Each heartbeat then commutable
Its every echo
Home
(Home)
.
I am flying
Akin to black eagle and climbing the skies to thread life through the eye of the needle
Rising from embers
Dismembered from the skin I have decayed within since caving in endangering all days as yet surrendered
.
(We entwine)
.
Bidding farewell to the flesh She undresses
With the breath of death’s design
Caressing gently back to life
Her wings extend to my delight
For She is everything in flight
My only wish to see her nowise slighted
Bargained not to blight
As She makes fine art of the skies
Paints a masterpiece of mine
Gracing sweetest reinvention to divine
.
I am trying
To be everything in flight
Each final breath declined invites her striking smile to widen
(Charmed)
Every chime of death knell shying buys the time to see her thriving
Every rhyme lends reason to bleed rich in height of season
Midst blackest pitch
I testify
To betterment of She forever striving
(Charmed)
.
Mine is only testament to chase her dreams and better them
The only truth self-evident
My hesitancy dying
For I resist the kiss of death
Unless that be of swift descent
Into the charmed embrace of my reflection crystalline
.

There are two ways to love to no end
This is mine

It takes two hearts to skip a beat
To make fine art a simple feat
To see inspired a fire to thrive
Survive the wake to feel alive
Two eagle eyes
To see the light
Two bleak skies
To idealise
Should need arise to deeper mine
Two hearts can bleed a feeder line
Find the rhyme to redesign where reason lies
