Steel Heart

Falling out of skies

lava in veins

skin blistering

fire and snow

minds bending to

a golden ark

limbs drawn from

black ink into ice caps

cherry lips freezing metal

blushing heights

spinning past

centuries of honor

heavy wood of acacia

bowing beneath bodies

bamboo bruises marking

the years blocking wind

each crack an earthquake

born from volcanic shores

eyes of black wax and heat

devouring

soothing

wandering

the depth of shadow

blood expanding

exploding

emptying

exposing

an elapsing thief

Love

calling out to winds

remembering

reacting

drums striking

with heartbeats

built from steel

sighs whipping

through canyons

of clear blue water

feeling it there

against sandstone

with the strength

of a thousand suns

warming and releasing

fragile hearts

into solid iron core

minds surrendering

once and for all

till death do us part
