Velvet Dusk

Velvet dusk, the air stood still

Golden heat on window sills

Your breath like fire behind my skin

The night began where we had been

You traced the sigils on my spine

Said"Midnight knows what's truly mine"

The candles bowed, the shadows curled

And something shifted in the world

When the portal opened, love became a spell

Time dissolved, and silence fell

You kissed me like the moon would break

And stars would burn for passion's sake

The veil was thin, my soul was bare

I found forever in your stare

Barefoot in the summer light

We danced between the wrong and right

You touched me like a sacred rite

I breathed you in the longest night

The honeyed air the aching sky

The sun stood still to hear us cry

The rituals we didn't speak

Still echo in the fire's heat

When the portal opened love became a spell

Time dissolved and silence fell

You kissed me like the moon would break

And stars would burn for passion's sake

The veil was thin my soul was bare

I found forever in your stare

Lay me in the lavender

Mark me with your name

Let the old world disappear

As you call mine the same

When the portal opened I was not afraid

To burn to break to be remade

You touched the part I always hide

The spell was you the fire the tide

The veil was gone and I was true

And every solstice leads to you
