Fingers against the skin of a lover
I scrabble for your hand
as they light the torches
their faces are dark shadows
evil I see now
darkness touches them deep
our fingers clasp
"rest easy," you gasp
and I answer "soon it will be over"
An orange light in the dimness
and I smile at my destiny
no questions here
I'd say my love again
a thousand times
Your breaths are harsh against my skin
don't be afraid my master
soon there will be no pain
I stare them down
as they set fire at our feet
and they leave the room
in haste. I grin at their fear --
will they condemn, but not face
the fire they leave us to?
"love," your voice is frail
and pain takes me over
heat
a lover's embrace
no
a fire
death approaches
and still I smile
Blackness becomes my friend
and I hold your hand as we melt together
rush of vibrant pleasure overtakes me
Green grass.
River sparkle in the sun.
I lie silent in bliss
your hand in mine.
I smile suddenly --
"run to the water!" I laugh
and pull you with me
my darling
my heart
my master
my Qui-Gon
my lover
eternity in your water-cool kiss.
fires are gone out forever
and the pleasure of life
courses through my veins
