Tread carefully
She told herself
Sip
Don't drink of the wisdom too quickly
For shadows lurk in the most potent brew of life
But I drink this flesh
Each bead of sweat earned and regretted
And marked as a tattoo in remembrance of sin
So angels can dance and warm the winter that dares to come forth
And spread wings for the summers warmth
Only in the balance of seasons does destiny share secrets
So kiss me on the lips and dream of tomorrow
Share a beat of my heart and merge seconds with hope
Only lord knows the trouble I'm in
And why the heavens defy me
Let me rest while I sit here and rest in jade
I can offer salvation but with blade you must come and claim the hour
N twist N twist while a heart explodes
It is then and only then that the door shall open
Let me see your bloody palms
And regret stains a bloody dress for even in this light my palms remain clean
The breath of slaughter can wash away sins but even in this light
The hourglass contains the fragments
Silenced from the shadows as they drip from the vessel they have become
Sand marks time and reflection becomes a plaine unknown
Lest I weep into the sand and mingle with those I have become
Entiwned from taking a sip of the most brutal source of life
Bitter to the tongue as desire is to my skin
And cold to the aura as need to my want
