The Scent of the Universe

A Love that Flows Like Honey and Blood

Since the dawn of time,
Since the first thread was spun,
Your eyes have held my sky of words,
And with them, the time has never been done.

Desert and sun,
Light and moon,
Scent and color,
All of them, my body doth consume.

Hope as vast as the cosmos,
Desire as deep as my heart,
Love that flows like honey and blood,
Through my veins, never to depart.

A waterfall of tears pours down,
And the fragrance of the universe spreads,
Like shattered glass, I lay here,
Waiting at my limit, my heart soars and dreads.

I wait, and with each passing second, I break,
Trying again, only to fail once more,
Beaten and battered, I try to survive,
Until a ray of hope dawns and my love doth restore.

Beautiful you are, like the universe at my feet,
You surround me, whispering in my ear,
Together, we’ll spin in a distant galaxy,
Your path is mine, and mine
