On Knives and Stars
Slice across my life
Cleaving me in two
Before and after meeting you
Your bones are knives
Menace in a trice
Coolly cruelly sleek
Sweeps feet out from under me
Your skin is ice
Slurs and blurs my mind
Tartly takes its toll
Takes away my self-control
Your mouth is wine
Infiltrate my guise
Slyly slink around
Signals from the underground
Your brows are spies
Stealing shamelessly
Inclined to rob me blind
Snatch away my heart and mind
Your smiles are thieves
Inspiring belief
In more than I can see
Twinkling infinity
Your eyes are stars
Knives and stars
Thieves and spies
Stars and knives
Ice and wine
Stars and spies
Thieves and wine
And wine
And wine
