Twilight sprays its slender glow on the rose-tipped
Mantle that takes its place among your star-drenched form
Sending me on a wave of delight
Glorious idol bound in chains of silk
You take my breath away with your pristine soul
I long to wrap myself in the dusty pearl-dropping fabric
Surrender to the ferality of your eyes
Driven to caste myself upon your slab of slate
Take the fallen angel wings I hold close to my heart
And touch the holy ground on which you stand
Forever sitting in your shadow
Content to simply trace your footsteps
Gaze at the serene countenance you scatter around
With your midnight eyes and shining grace
Speaking in tongues only I understand
Your golden throat and silver voice
Take me prisoner in honeyed tones and endless appeal
With your waterfall smile and ink-laced fingertips
Painting me in a thousand points of light
Breaking throught the barrier of my deception
Seeing throught the looking-glass heart and eyes of stone
With your unlimited love and your core of steel
Stinging me from afar, affecting with your phantom presence
