Scottish Sahara

Katherine. When 2 feels worlds better than 1...

Our sand castle home stands tall and proud,
As synergy eradicates the final doubt.
You could make even the sun and moon fall in love,
But for now they'll stay jealous;
Not even the tide could tear this down.
All through the night, she's digging holes
With a shovel composed of her blood and veins.
These holes stretch from the sky's ceiling
To the centre of the earth; to the edge of reason.
They encapsulate all her worst nightmares
And bury them deep beneath her sea bed.
She was hidden in a clam;
Tough to find but well worth the searching time.
I said, "Tell me the world that's inside your head.",
But I'm just a ghost on the climax of her breath;
I sometimes wish my hands could find hers,
But we live in neither Heaven, nor earth.
We'd hear screams every night of our lives;
We'd do the best we can to survive.
My hands enfold her naked heart, bare to see,
As she throws mine out to sea.
We'd spend our nights on the volcano;
I'd risk life and limb just so she could know
How it feels to pluck a star from the sky -
I hid mine in a jar and placed them in her eyes,
For when she's asleep, I need to wake myself from this dream.
She didn't mutter a word,
When I asked her to rip apart my world
And for that I drown in happiness;
Love has awoken from its playful rest.
Last night, I cremated myself
And gave to her the diamonds I had made:
Unexpected fireworks dance alongside the stars.
She cuddled me calm as I erupted
And for that, I think she will be at the top of my love
Until I too am buried in one of her holes.
Lately, I've been having early morning conversations
With the sun as He rises over the mountain skyline;
He found time in His dark, dark mind
To show me care in my bleak despair.
She makes Him shine,
She makes Him stare;
I am just her stage.
She sets my world on fire,
She makes me feel less alone.
She is everything I could possibly desire,
She is my island; she is my home.
