A Couplet
You birthed me from Night's dark womb
And made your heart my immortal tomb.
A Tanka
with your bloody kiss
you bought me into this world
with hopes to mold me
then I tried to run away
but your love caught up with me
As we would believe, This moment is forever. Hear the beating of two hearts? Each slow rhythm a Reflection of the other's love. |

If only we could be the beauty of this star filled night But you are as compelling as the sun and just as certain — my destruction Like the celestial orb you allow no deviation from course, no freedom Each time you reach out to me I hide from your embrace as if it were a solar flare You made me a night creature yet you burn too bright in your passion So I must forever seek shade from you lest you consume me entirely Incinerating my heart with but a touch. |

the night is too short for it to be spent in this chase too few hours for me to be running from you if only you could leave me alone stop your stalking maybe you would find me running full circle coming up from behind and chasing you |
