As whips become kisses and fainting memories open with admittance
The sorest sense...

Leave me on this island
Leave me on Elba to die
I don't mind
Actually I do
I'm just the shyest man alive
And maybe to her
I'm not even so much as a boy
"Only boys play games"

I was never in...

Your hair is dark, 
Your stature petite
If your beauty was my opponent
I would already concede defeat

rushing thoughts, tis’ mental illness?
breaking through the peace in soft light

fragile like the shyest smile,
hesitating...

And, You, with YOUR pure light,
whisper hope that silences shadows,
leaving my fear of the darkest night,
reminding me why I know this blessing,
so alive, a blessing...

Your presence...

Gleeful roses turn to sullen churls,
And virgin smiles of shyest brides
Soonest morph into widowed furls;
Sad victims of your ill-bladed tides. 

Swearing lovers of staunchest troth
Must sample your bitterest swill too,
And forfeit bonds of grandest worth,

and Standby Silver has me blink
such beauty in this...
