Waves thunder against the jagged cliffside,
A whirlpool swirling at our feet, gyrating in
A vortex of seafoam and fury, threatening
To smother us in its vengeful depths
Yet we stand untouched, hidden in the mist,
Fingers interlaced, woven together by the
Scarlet lifeblood spilling from our hearts.
A silent, unspoken truth binds us, bridging
The void of memories, of shared history
Seen through wise and weary eyes, brimming
With starlight, a universe harbored in our veins,
An untamed wilderness begging for release
From the iron cage we built to contain its
Bestial brilliance, lest we be vanquished by it.
The kingdom looming behind us stands as a
Testament to the legacy we forged together
With the bruised and bloodied fingers of
Warriors who have swum down the deepest
Wells of agony, yet still surfaced with breath
In our aching lungs, feeding off each others’
Conviction, a flickering strength reignited.
Our eyes remain locked, sapphire penetrating
Umber, a silent thread of communication,
Tethered at our core, shared secrets spanning
Millenniums, a whirlwind of time whipping our
Skin like the lashes we were once given, a
Punishment for our power, viridescent with envy,
Our beauty radiates, spanning universes unbound.
Our lips collide, wildfire consuming each atom
Of our essence, neurons pulsing and firing, the
Blaze sweeping over our scarred bodies, cores
Turning molten as we melt and ebb into one
Another, lines blurred, an atomic fusion of two
Vessels stripped bare, utterly vulnerable to the
Capricious sway of a feverish and eternal love.
Clasped together, heart to heart, we slowly sink
To the stone precipice below, bones aching with
A suppressed longing, brittle and primordial,
Our ancient spark flickering, a fire of hope to
The world, fading gently into the night, an era
Bygone, its history written by our hands, eyes
Fluttering closed, at long last peace has found us.
