Saison Noire

i defy you, stars
as also Romeo before
in a fit of passion i gave my world to another in your namesake
for the bloodstained roses and fading pictures of those eyes
for those eyes of such depth and complexity
i drained myself of existence
my breath, sold for a kiss
a second of exultation
i cry for you, stars
i was inebriated by the rivers of words
the adrenaline led me
it tempted me with every beat of his heart
glowing, that amaranth glare that blinded my eyes of reality
taken by the hand and drowned out by emotion
those eyes, those wings
you captured them all from my arms
i defy you stars
