Raptured in spite of this
Moment starts to fade
Your eyes are nowhere
But your memory remains
Claret drips down my chin
As we sit and dream
My favourite beauty
Falling apart at the seams
Personal acts of violence
Boxing gloves in air
Mindless indulgence
Of the ever untamed bear
It’s not about harmony
Or shelter from the cold
Lost words on sea breeze
The fear of growing old
It’s the spark that ignites us
A red mist through your mind
Venture yet further
Let’s see what we’ll find
Fall headlong for
More bruises and blood
Or stroll forth into
A land full of love
