Devotion

And with each touch

The sheer proximity

More than a closeness of breaths

I looked into my mirror

Eyes of red

Tears of barrenness

So desolate, unmercifully thrown  

Into vast nothingness

But eyes, they reflected

Eyes not stained with regret

I'll kiss the tears

If you forever live from my cup

Beside my footprints

Echoed

Intense, our shadows entwined

Let me drink from your palm

You filled me, I flourished

One drop at a time

Life of my blood

Blood of my veins

Let me wrap around your skin

I will guard you

With the warmth that unfolded

From our heart's winter breath

As we melted, so many ages ago

Let me cover you.

... i'll wrap around you like a warm blanket, and both of us will never feel empty again ...  ^_^
