The Kiss

Top of the mountain
Wind, sky and sight
Dried of the ocean
Drowned by the night

Breath of open windows
Breeze against my skin
Broken false dreams
Covered with sharp sin

It was your mirror
Fear and unwilling to see
It was not in vain
I left just to be

Sharp were the edges
Cuts to save me
Suitcases full of illusion
Taken outside to see

Seclusion of the winter
Sleeping in my bed
Seeing the damage
Clearing of my head

A shard of your mirror
Looking at my reflection
Given a blessing
Understanding without deception

Bruised and battered
I saw you fall
Now on the mountain
The gift I recall

Your sacred ghosts
Plunged me into the abyss
Never would I have leaped
If not for your kiss

Raven
