You are a melody,

a symphony -

poetry laid out before me.

On a bed of feathers and gold,

you are exquisite.

And I...

And I...

The sky whispers of your beauty.

With a kiss, you bring Orion to its knees

and make every fallen angel

believe

in God

again.

And I...

I...

I am loathsome in your shadow.

A vile, brutal beast full of broken dreams,

eluded faith and fragments

of what once was perfection.
