The Melting of Ice (Part 2)
I shoo away
all my twisted creations
(I can’t let them taint this
With the vileness
I spawned them from)
She approaches
I lower my head,
eyes staring into hers,
opening myself,
feeling her
intertwine her energy
with mine,
closer she comes.
At this point
mist like trails of essence
spiral out of the corners of our mouths
like smoke,
hazing sight.
I can feel her heart leaping
as I touch the right side of her neck,
the throbbing
stirring my desires
and as our power
closes us off to the world,
time freezes,
ice crystals
forming on my fur,
her feathers,
snapping off under their own weight
making chime like sounds
as they shatter
beneath us,
my nerves alight
as her fingertips
graze my cheek,
and her claws sink into
the small of my back,
like a forest fire
running through the brush,
melting away the obtrusive growth.
I feel her quiver
as my nails run down
her ribs
and her slim,
narrow waist,
our lips touch
and the clock starts again,
(reality must exert itself)
as the mist swirls in
I know what to expect,
so it doesn’t burrow into my brain
when in the clarity
she’s gone,
instead,
my heart still pumps,
and in the worst case
this undead
has felt life again,
maybe I’ll progress
instead of shriveling
and sealing my crypt once more.
