Light of my lips and dark of my eye
Shadow that I always keep with me.
Warmth which to thaw 
The ice of my heart
And the bright through the blinders
To wake me.

Hollow as you want to seem
You pay draughts to my tapped stores
From the over-welling fountain of you
Holding no secrets, as filled as I’ve been
By you blood, being, and your words
And your wingspan.

My angel, and ever will be holy to me
Lighting my legs and darkening 
All that blinding of bindings
On earth as you make for me haven
For my
Sleeping and dream but never as kind
To my ears as your voice of my waking

Light of my lips and dark of my eyes
You are all and I was born for this everything.
Too long wait, but to us now
I raise my hands to know you 
... All I was born for, and ever
my everything.

    If I were of competitive blood I’d have to submit to your dominance. You win good sir. You win. But I knew you would from the start, which is why my blood is not of the pre-described sort.

    I’m going to be late… bad times…

    And you really should have been sleeping when you posted this.
