The expanding shadow of our affection

A retinal afterglow where once shone a heart

Silence and symmetry

The hot wax of the extinguished candle

Trapped in the unforgiving glass

The sinking sun warmed us to the shadows

Colour is the memory of a dream

In the bright light we closed our eyes

And this is what we've seen

Cover my face with your darkening kisses

Black wings in the night

An unseen migration of love

The fluttering wings of the heart

Unspoken distances travelled unknowingly

The reckless isolation of the past

Darkly lost among suggestive shadows

This solid silhouette of history

Does your shadow still touch your feet

Are you still joined to darkness where you stand

Have you both evaporated in the night

When all else fails, you and I will not be an exception

Hold me as we fall

We have the time to stain oblivion's caress

And shout the words that blackness will engulf

We need not fear the dimming light that hides futility

Cover me in kisses I have lost my outline

The shallow saliva boundary of myself

Which one of those was the line we should not cross

Devotion dessicated in sticky definition

A kiss betrays a person underneath
