The Binding

And all the world's a sea of holy water
Beneath the feet of you
True faith abounding in the Sapphire eyes, to hold and maintain such hold
Over the soul of one once orphaned by the voids within

To have loved and lost, this I have done
In serving out the sentences of foolish
Thoughts, to spite the tender heart and mind, for noble fortitude

I write your name upon the skin
Of all I ever was
To stab and lacerate all the treasures we had found together
And juxtaposed in one another
That I may never let it slip and fade away from me.

I light the Fires of my God and Father in your name, my sweet
That in his warmth and defence, you may tread
To never feel the cold again, nor death of all your wonder

I know you burn in my own veins, caustically precious...

Kind embrace, enfold us now

To fall from need to rise from this again.
