Alessio had retreated, departing from a beauty made for wandering eyes, and he is now questioning the moment. Beauty left a trail for him to follow, and he followed blindly.

Lay down the padsThat seem to undo, the petals and their dew.Release wetness, from between pillars,And release sadness, from between veinsWhere velvet flesh consumes its own bread. Lay yourself downOn this bed made of milesOf stones.Sin is but a release to the passionBetween two, in excitement.We feelWhat should not be felt,And have felt,What now we…

Bleed the skies wide open To where I caught the token Of your heavenly face. It was but a tear, That did smear The shadow from your bleak and melancholy Expression In your gaze, While I am under the haze. Let tranquility be a part of me, Let the thunder strike so delicately The areas…

Let me enthrall The washed out areas at your feet, For they plead Ever-more than you did. Your gaze has caught a thorn in my eye. When I bend down to reach, A flood spills over. There is soil needing its space to be filled, There is a plot of land necessary for a grave…

Your fragrance Is a dying lullaby For me to swing In arms still as solid As the boughs above. Your face, Among each trace Of your smile Holds me, still In its clasp, In my loneliness, In my sadness. I would have loved for many a while, While you clung to the scenery Of fear.…

My knees give way For me, to be Beneath you, and hold you this ring That represents All that I have sent Up to you, In the blue, in the daylight. Your lips whisper a kind serenity Down to me, For me to see, what will come to be For us. Love is everywhere. I…

Everywhere I travelBrings the nighttime to peakUp towards the moon, where each gleam is shown. I’d love to, but cannotEver mean to kiss youBeneath the starlit skyWith wine in hand,Upon cheeks so bland,And lips crossed upon the sand. Where will you stayWhen I have gone faraway?Little dear, you tend to play with your fears. Laced…

Allow me what you can Offer, to me For I have not aplenty To give back. There is pain that soaks my eyes, That stings both pupil and iris. I beg of you, Allow me something to rid it. The kiss or the rope, To love or to die, To breathe or to sigh, As…
