smiles

At all hours love and passion tear me outward

Ribcage widened in a terrible pain I yell out for the end to be near

In such metamorphosis my heart is revealed to pumping and gushing red and red more and more

For a warm bed for two and an endless supply of such heat

In solitude I deceive myself of joy

That cold silence would keep me warm on the battlefield of love

She lay waste to many a man and boy

Yet I return to her gaze and in the night she disappears to star and dust

I see her spread her twinkling face across the night sky

In reflection she smiles on me in the darkness

Forever more do I wish this night to ripple on through the ages

Until two heartbeats beat as one

Forever more I will no longer wish for the night but only her eyes that are the stars once smiling down upon me

Now smile on me day or night she smiles on me
