Envy

His love fell over her like bath water His sighs were the strum of the acoustic guitar that followed the rhythm of her heartbeat they shivered together under a blanket of bubbles He kissed the condensation off her cheeks.... and his words.................................. His words were Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Ceiling Painted across her Eyelids Enveloping her with beauteous kindness His Arms were the Key to the Kingdom of her Life's Solace Sometimes life is just but a masquerade................ I press a half moon mask over my face And I ride on the high of the Orchestral Waves Souls illuminated by the moonlight restlessly sway as they await for the Candle light sun The ONE air in your lungs when you have none The ONE who hears your song when it is unsong The Wolf cries for the Moon Helplessly he howls for his mistress Envious, he cries For he wishes for your gift. You Breathe life into a woman’s heart That was once wilted Beaming with love, She blossoms into the essence of a tiger lily Breathless, Intoxicated by Her heavenly Glow She is The antidote For All of life’s tragedy.
