Kiss of Ruin

How bold and rash this messenger of love.

Who's eager wings betray that call.
To race with cyclone whimsy, casting caution down.

And revel lost in ardors glow before your door.

How to resist that light?

With flames and heat that draw me near.

To taste the core of passions mystery.
And burning with desire’s searing tongue these wings are rent.

Torn in roiling storms of frenzied haste.

Who's ruined heart lay spent upon your golden blaze.
And resting there within that furnace of your love.

I perish in delight and offer oblation with my doom.

The dawn will turn the day and send all shadows home.

To wait in silent slumber for the night.
And I will sleep within your heart.

To see that night of perfect bliss unfold.

To birth with golden wings anew.

On mounting currents rising ever to thy sapient moon.
I soar again to reach the height of beauty's reign.

To taste the rapture of your luscious kiss once more.
