My Time

Forever forgotten lives
pearls beyond belief
untamed wonder and grace
spins and circles through paradise

untouchable yet free
our hearts roam, searching
serging blood through us
keeping us human
the canals of life respire

the blood drips
'what?'
soft and true
emulating our fragile and delicate life
which passes on

when the colour has left me
and i dilate
i shall take you in my heart
ensure i do not drip
'how?'
hold me close and feel my warmth

let me sleep, when my time comes
until the crescent moon fills
and the stars glide
'No!'
your time came
wait, hold mine
