Acidic Eyes

Acidic eyes of overflow
That melt the heart in heat;
From dragon's tongue,
The flames do fly,
A caress that makes me quiver.
Love for what's given,
A rose and a ribbon,
Is ointment
For the burn.

You're slipping through
The open wounds,
And mending them anew...

A hat and a helmet,
My knight of night;
Riddle and riddler,
A ruby in the rough.
Shield of the savior,
Shoulder to lean on;
Wyvern with words,
Shadow and flame.

I am a star,
You are the night;
I've been reaching to grasp
What I already hold.
Safer in shadows,
Spatial and spectral;
Astral infusion,
Darkness and light.

You make me burn brighter,
Near to a nova,
As you swirl and curl around me.
Held here aloft in the sable sky,
I float in the flurry,
I glow in the void.

We're in orbit, in sync,
Spinning round the other.
Melding and molding,
Rising and rolling,
One into the other,
Celestial storm...

I love the dark,
And I am light.
