Crystals and Vines
hands held, as she whispers in my ear
can i hear the rain cascading down
around us the world weeps
while we echo under stone
in her eyes, that is where it lies
those of that crystalline shine
peering out of a skull filled mine
moments flicker in the reel
i feel those moments tick
in that bark i call my heart
he came from behind
the distance in time, between heart beats
follows an iced dagger in my back
red tangles of vines flow out
as i fall onto her, crystalline eyes wide
fear spreads across her face
in flickers the attacker descends
dagger plunging into her breast
us two soon to be corpses lay
crumpled in piles of vines and bloodstones
hands held, as the attacker fades away.
