I look deep into her eyes to see inside me,
The frightened falling in.
Holding one another, silently together,
Feelings owned, and free, are ignited within to flame;
We shiver from the smoke.
Embraced by inner hands of sadness, I feel.
As soft noises utter from my lips.
Both of us on fire, our bond is breath.
The sharing of each other’s pain and joy,
A realisation of love’s depth,
A union toward death.
