Poem

I wrote  a poem.

Luckily meesasometimes and fannishliss were there to catch me and help me make it respectable.

This is it x


Eternal

...night air cool around them,
bonds to endless black above

void leaching warmth out from
the very blood running dark

beneath exposed skin at wrists and throats
but the black below them was warm

hard and gleaming under sheen of dust
fuelled by running, everywhere and nowhere

perpetual running, moving hard and fast and far,
for ever and ever, world without end

running deeper than the dark in their hearts.

one shivers, the other feels it and
shrugs brown leather from his shoulders

to the other's shoulders (they're his too after all)
bloodied, ingrained with his tears and pain

salt-etched deep with hate and love
that rub and ignite and burn

twin suns in the void, snagged
in a gravity of their own making,

light with nothing more to do
than keep moving, keep burning,

until they consume themselves and each other
'til all that remains is the hard dark of their hearts

the burden trapped eternal in the event horizon's storm
for ever and ever, world without end

but that's okay. Here, now, under the void,
in the cool night air, they still burn.
