i could live forever in your smile
no need of food nor drink
as the skies darken
and the clock ticks forward to the end
your smile brings the only sustenance i require
it is the heat that fuels my world
in your smile i feel as one with universe

after a day toiling to find the words to spin another fruitless tale
in your eyes i take shelter
there i see the peace life has tried to take away
in your sparkling orbs
forever becomes reality
i fall endlessly
into the spectacle of sheer beauty
that is you

in your perfection
the toll of living becomes joy
pain dissolves
fades like a bittersweet memory
so give me your smile
let me gaze into your eyes
as my blood stains my lips a deep and solemn red
know in you
i found my purpose

let your laughter ring like clearest bell
let your smile outshine the stars
let your lips taste the sweetest grape
let our hearts beat as one
let your arms embrace me as the ocean holds the shore
let me look upon you
as i am undone

and as i pass on
into another form
know you are
the only ones
the only dream i ever held
the only wish i ever made
the only ones
i ever truly loved

the only colors i saw

in a world of black and white

once two
(now three)
