I held him close and listened-
His bones spoke to me
From within the cobwebbed confines of his soul.
Ours was a destroying sort of love
The hours, bleached by time.
He belonged to dreams
Hovering in the shadows,
Calling down stars.
I climbed into the sky-
At the edge of the world
I found him
Covered by sparks,
Smoldering-
I bowed my head before him and wept.
I counted the stars
And secretly recorded the time
Etching his name into my heart.
He breathed out his soul
Into me
And whispered a single word in my ear
Mine.
