.

In this eternal present, all that remains is you and I,

Going round in circles,

Stuck in our ways, set in time,

Bound by chains unbreakable

Swinging wild in this, our mad trapeze of love.

I chase you like a wolf with mouth of blood,

Of bone, of fang, of mad desire wheeling after the sun,

Careening into oblivion and the other side of time

‘Til death and the end days claim us both.

I chase you like a wolf with jaws of flame,

Of death, of destruction, that consumes the self while I chase the moon,

Giving up all else for a blinding hunt

‘Til starved of love, I drop at your feet

Ribs poking through the hollow cage

All dead and rotten save beaten heart

And the workhorse smile upon my lips.
